Now that April 1 is far behind, I'll mention that I've been looking at ways to amalgamate the mechanisms used by ipfw/ipfilter to address this problem. Without being insulting, my 5 second grab on this is that ipfw has grown like a tumour inside the ip stack with bits and pieces hooked in here and there and everywhere (exageration.) That is to say I think should be and can be better than they are. Cheers, Darren
