This is not a good idea - IMHO.  The problem is twofold: First, it adds a=20
special handling for a special case and is not a general sollution to the=20
problem (i.e. what if I want to use altq instead?).  Second, it adds=20
complexity to the already painfully complex ipfw-grammar.  In my opinion we=
=20
need a cleanup here first.

I remember that we had an extensive discussion about this around=20
=46reeBSD-SA-05:13.ipfw - the bottom line seems to be: either parallel or=20
cacheing.  Stack storage should work as well.
