Subject:   can I use keep-state for icmp rules?
Message-ID:  <009c01c16017$dca045d0$0603a8c0@MIKELT>

In trying to allow return icmp packes (i sent out a echo, icmp type 8, want
to allow the echo reply, 0) or others, can I use keep-state for that rule?

thus:
allow icmp from $oip to any keep-state out xmit $oif
(yes, it takes it, doesn't reject it, looks like it puts rules in the
ipfw -al)

question, does it REALLY check? like tcp, thewre is the syn/ack/fin
handshake, will it only allow return icmp for outgoing?
does it know to allow a echo (0) for an outgoing 8? (ping?)
