I have a few ideas (mostly along the lines of optimizing for the most commonly-used rules). An obvious candidate is the 'match all' rule (all from any to any), but can people suggest other common usage of rules in ipfw ? cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
