I have pfdump now but I don't see a cluster-id option.  Did you mean
pfcount?  If I run 2 instances of pfcount with the same cluster-id and
then replay a pcap with 10 packets all belonging to the same TCP
stream, I get 5 packets being sent to each pfcount instance.
Shouldn't all 10 packets be sent to 1 instance?

First instance:

sudo ./pfcount -c77 -i eth1
<snip>
=========================
Absolute Stats: [5 pkts rcvd][5 pkts filtered][0 pkts dropped]
Total Pkts=5/Dropped=0.0 %
5 pkts - 434 bytes [0.38 pkt/sec - 0.00 Mbit/sec]
=========================
Actual Stats: 5 pkts [1'000.75 ms][5.00 pps/0.00 Gbps]
=========================

Second instance:

sudo ./pfcount -c77 -i eth1
<snip>
=========================
Absolute Stats: [5 pkts rcvd][5 pkts filtered][0 pkts dropped]
Total Pkts=5/Dropped=0.0 %
5 pkts - 834 bytes [0.62 pkt/sec - 0.00 Mbit/sec]
=========================
Actual Stats: 5 pkts [1'001.39 ms][4.99 pps/0.00 Gbps]
=========================

The replayed pcap is just ten packets that result from "curl testmyids.com":

Any ideas?
