Good point, I had missed that.

I don't know if I am using it properly, which is why I wrote in the first place.  I've worked with ipfw before, but only for protection, not for any type of redirection.  


># ipfw add 300 fwd 127.0.0.1,8000 ip from any to localhost 80

Two things, first this line is not accepted by ipfw:

"ipfw: error: only TCP and UDP protocols are valid with port specifications"

Second, would that confuse httpd and make it think all requests are comming in on localhost (which would break virtual-hosting.)?
