(long term plan is bsd-migration of course :) The best option is to migrate your firewall to a BSD and use PF. See the PF faq at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/ for some info on getting started. In the meantime, if short term migration is not an option, you might want to look at something like Firewall Builder(http://www.fwbuilder.org) which I believe is able to generate configurations for PF, IPFW, IPFilter and iptables from a common XML source. -- Peter N.
