I'm looking to adding the keep-state options to my firewall
rules.  What are the recommended places to put the keep-state
options at?  I'm not quite sure what keep-state is, i've checked
the man page and its not really helped much.  Does it basically
create, specific dynamic fw rules?  like:

add allow tcp from any to any 21 keep-state

does this become something like:

allow tcp from 1.2.3.4 to 3.2.4.1 21

?  Or am I totally off the mark.

Thanks,
