Are you using IPFW2, by chance?

I've been running a transparent proxy for about 3 years without issue.  As
soon as I tried IPFW2, I see the same problem as you are describing.  fwd
packet match, but never hit the proxy.  Switch back to IPFW1, using the
exact same ruleset - and it works.  4_7_0_RELEASE.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?
