Hi,

I'd like to have a clarification about the forward command in ipfw.

 From what I read in the man, I understand that on hitting a fwd rule, 
the lookup in the routing table will be done according to the IP 
address in the fwd rule, and not according to the IP destination 
address of the packet.

AM I right?

Best regards,

Olivier
