I have a little problem over here. I have searched the mailing list archives but couldnt find anything close... I made ipfw,dummynet etc. work perfectly but need a creative idea of the conf file I should use. I want to limit bandwidth over an interface but also I want to use ipfw's firewall capabilities but the search terminates when ipfw comes to a pipe command. Ok you might say that I can make ipfw continue search after pipe by setting a variable with sysctl and I did that then the problem is that I want users behind this host to connect to X machine without the bandwidth limit but however I put the rules these users are caught by the other bandwidth limit rule. I can handle this if the ipfw terminates the search when it finds a rule because I can put a rule about this X machine first and another rule about the rest of the internet then I cant use ipfw's firewall capabilities. I can use ipfw's skipto option to continue from another rule when the pipe matches but then the problem is with ipfw list numbers. I sometimes add rules in the middle of the rules in my rc.firewall file and all the numbers change at the next time I reboot the firewall box. Is this a kind of paradox? any creative ideas?
