What do you think IPF is? That's the utility name used to load filter rules into IPFILTER. So you are doing just what I said. The original poster said nothing about doing traffic shaping. IPNAT will not function with out IPFILTER rules. At lease pass in all on all interfaces. He listed none in his post. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Tillman Hodgson Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 6:38 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ipnat+ipfw + 3 gateways On Sun, Dec 14, 2003 at 06:01:08PM -0500, fbsd_user wrote: > I think you are confused.

Not necessarily true. I'm using IPF for packet filtering, IPNAT for NAT, and IPFW for traffic shaping on the same firewall. The order that a packet is mangled becomes important, but that's solved simply by being careful when designing the firewall. -T -- Draw bamboos for ten years, become a bamboo, then forget all about bamboos when you are drawing.
