Hi all,

IPFW seems to be the same IPFW that is used on MacOSX, so it seems to  
make sense to learn and lean on IPFW when using in a mixed Machine  
Environment. On the other side, many People seem to say PF is easier  
to manage once a setup gets complicated. As usual, both sides have  
their own valid points. My question though is not whether any of the  
two , IPFW of PF is better then the other, but which of the two do  
you use, and why?

Thanks,
David
