Nick, et al.
	I didn't see that the fwd was for outbound only. I have adjusted my
filters to reflect that concept, and all is well. 

	To summarize: 
	To make this work, I went to the uplink port (fxp0), and put in a
filter that was basically "add xxxx fwd 5.5.5.5 ip from 1.1.1.0/24 to any
out fxp0" ... 

	The only curiousity I have left is whether that forces the packets
back through the firewall, since it will be going "out" a different port
after that rule... Thoughts?

	Thank you for the kick in the head. :-)

-brad

	ipfw fwd only works on outbound traffic.
