Hi there,

	I've been running into some problems with what is supposed to be a 
filtering bridge with IPFW, on FreeBSD 5.4-REL0.

	IPFW has been compiled into kernel:

options         BRIDGE
options         IPFIREWALL
options         IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT
options         IPDIVERT

along with the bridging capability.


No other firewalling mechanisms are enabled.


The bridge is configured and working:

net.link.ether.bridge.enable=1
net.link.ether.bridge.config=fxp0,vr0
net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw=1

fxp0 is Internet
vr0 is a server with an external IP, called EXT_IP

I tried blocking with trivial ruleset:

00100    0      0 deny icmp from any to any
65535 8518 584248 allow ip from any to any

However, pinging through the bridge, from the Internet, works without fear:
64 bytes from EXT_IP: icmp_seq=0 ttl=233 time=85.994 ms
64 bytes from EXT_IP: icmp_seq=1 ttl=233 time=96.220 ms

If anyone could help me a bit, I'd be really thankfull.

Thanks for the time.

Yours Sincerely,
