   I was considering turning on bridging, which requires the final ipfw
   rule to be allow, not deny.
   So I added a deny rule at 65534, but temporarily left the default deny
   rule in place in the kernel.
   Interestingly, my log shows the following:
> 65534   582   58547 deny ip from any to any
> 65535     3     234 deny ip from any to any
This looks like an impossible situation, since the last 3 should have been caug
ht by the previous rule.

I presume those last three denied packets are really not ip packets at all, but
 some other packet like arp?
