Hi,

Currently the ipfw fwd rules work so that the packet
is accepted when fwd rule matches.

Would it be possible just tag the packet with
information about next_hop and just continue processing the
rules ? This would make complex rulesets with policy-based
routing much simpler, since one could just have relevat
fwd statments at beginning of rule sets and then
filter the packets in usual way.
