I have most of the basic stuff running in a prototype mode in my den (with another FreeBSD machine (V3.2) running as the DHCP server.) Looking at rc.firewall, the design appears to assume that you have a static IP address. Since I have to use ISC dhclient to connect to Road Runner the "oip" value may change from time to time. If there is a way to change rc.firewall so it can work with changing 'outside IP addesses' I have not found it. Any suggestions or best practices? Cheers...
