Hi all,

I use IPFW and IPA to do IP accounting on all my systems.

I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on how often the rules, or just 
the bytecounters should be zero'd/flushed when using ipfw?

My rulesets consists of anywhere between 100-300 rules, most consisting of 
counters (used by ipa).

-Grant.
