Perhaps everybody but me knows the answer to this one: Why not build off of ipfilter? I've chosen ipf over ipfw for the last couple of years because ipf already had state, nat proxies, route intervention, etc. Since 3.x freebsd has carried support for both. Does ipf have something really ugly under the hood that people don't want to work with? -Brendan (synk@swcp.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
