I've recently switched from using a Linux IP Masquerading box to a FreeBSD Ipfilter box, and in order to allow my housmate to play his Direct Play games (a non negotiable thing on his part) I have to forward ports 2300-2400 to his box. This works fine and good, but I also run squid and a couple of other proxies that seem to eat up port numbers, and when they hit port 2300 they freeze for extended periods of time. I had this same problem with Linux, but I solved it by moving the range of ports used by local processes: echo 50000 60999 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range Is there something similar that I can do in FreeBSD (3.4 STABLE)?
