You can't put statements like this in rc.conf. rc.conf is included into many scripts,
so the above command line might get invoked several times.

If you include `firewall_type="open"' that will allow rc.firewall to define the
ipfw rules for you.

Also add `natd_enable="YES"' and `natd_interface="xl1"' to get rc.firewall to start
natd for you.

All this is done in rc.firewall automagically.

It should all just work now. Oh, don't forget that you need `gateway_enable="YES"'
in rc.conf also.
