Sure. It's a very standard setup; I block all traffic by default. I
allow all traffic on the internal network (fxp0), I allow outgoing
traffic on the external network (rl0), and I allow only selected ports
as incoming traffic on rl0 (ssh, http, https, some other things I
need). I can send you the ruleset privately if you want me to.

What might be interesting is that I also have ipfw enabled (with
default to accept), because I use dummynet for traffic shaping.

I'll compile a new kernel without ipfilter tonight, and I'll mail you
the results as soon as possible.
