Hi,

I am using ipfwadm and am having problems with the box resolving the
rules everytime, this is a pain as it pulls up the ISDN line and costs a
fortune.  Here's the test rule I am using:

ipfwadm -I -i accept -W eth0 -S 10.10.11.0/255.255.255.0 -D
10.10.11.0/255.255.255.0 -n

If I do 'ipfwadm -Il' it won't show the rule unless the ISDN line is in;
ie it brings up the line to confirm the rule.  I thought the -n switch
would stop this resolving?

The -n switch seems to work if I have masks of 0.0.0.0 but doesn't if
the mask is 255.255.255.0.  Is there something stupid I am doing here?
or some way I can just have it match the IP's and not the DNS
equivalent?  I'm trying to set rules so it doesn't bring the ISDN up as
much, not more ;)

I can't see anything in the HOWTO, or the headers of the mailing list -
I must be doing something dumb.

Thanx,

Steve
