Synopsis: [ipfw] ipfw setfib does not work on local outgoing connections State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: julian State-Changed-When: Fri May 7 15:00:00 PDT 2010 State-Changed-Why: Unfortunatly this is mostly unavoidable. The routing decision has already been made by the time that ipfw is called. There is a small possibility that a change of fib could make the stack do teh same thing as ipfw fwd and force he packet to go back to the start and get rerouted, but it's not quite as easy as that. You should look at possibly setting the fib for the application in question or maybe jsut its socket if you have source. contact me directly to get some ideas we may be able to work with you on. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=146372
