I want to set up an ipfw firewall. This should be easy since I'm running no
services on that box and just want to allow all outgoing traffic and no
incoming traffic (except responses from connections I make, of course). The
only trouble is that I have dynamic IP (it's on DHCP) and no "real"
hostname. How do I write these rules?
