Thanks for the quick fix, Andrey! Now that this is taken care of, time to
start playing with the cool new features... especially naming tables.

 Hi lists,

 Are there any plans to implement IPv6 tables in ipfw? It would seem
 that our gov. may want to force us into IPv6 in 6 months ;)
 I've got working implementation for IPv4+IPv6 and interface tables:

 15:56 [0] zfsbase# /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw table 2 list
 1.2.3.4/30 0
 2a02:978::/64 0


 15:16 [0] zfsbase# /usr/obj/usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw table 4 list
 em4/em4 2
 vlan144/vlan144 1
 vlan145/vlan145 11000
 vlan146/vlan146 12000


 I plan to commit it today/tomorrow.
 8.2-S diff will be available, too


Thanks! I've been wanting this for a long time as working around it
involved some really, really ugly hacks if you must support IPv6
(which we do).

Re: Support for IPv6 tables in ipfw?

 Hi,
 I developed with Luigi (as mentor) and Mariano Tortoriello the first  
 release of ipfw with ipv6 extension. If you and the FreeBSD Community  
 think that the tables functional  is a good feature i can develop it  
 for IPv6 protocol.

Tables are invaluable for several functions. The most important to me is
the ability to create a 'block' list that can be easily updated from a
program or script. With a table you just need:
add 00500 unreach port ip from table 86 to any
in your standard configuration and then a script can do:
table 22 add 2001:400:14:23::45
to add a system to the list. To do it without tables means finding an
available rule and inserting the rule in the main table.

I can do it without tables, but it works much better with them.
