I have ipfw set to "open" via rc.conf. I've been noticing that there are a lot of denied packets from 127.0.0.0/8. If NATd is sending data to localhost, then shouldn't it be going through lo0 which works? Other than the sheer number of error messages going to syslog, it seems like natd is working fine. Anybody know why am I getting all of these denied packets and where they're coming from?
