Yeah, it is what exactly I'm doing now, I'm logging count diffs to postgesql database for each of rules, but I just thought that maybe there is some internal functionality in ipfw which allows to say, for example "ipfw save-counters-between-reboots" :) So, as I can see there is no such feature and the way I'm doing now is the rightmost way :) Thanx fo answer. -- Alexandr P.
