Not to belittle the work that Poul and others have put into IPFW, I can't help but ask, "Why reinvent the wheel?" Darren Reed has done a great job pulling together ip_filter. As near as I can tell it offers every feature that IPFW does as well as NAT and many other features that are being requested for addition to IPFW. Again, my comments are not intended to take away from the effort that has been put into IPFW. It just seems that there is another option available that could only be made better by making it the standard packet filter for FreeBSD. It already sports many of the features that are being requested for addition to IPFW. > Since all the discussion about IPFW is going on I'll toss my wish list > item into the hat.
