I am wondering what the deal is with the Rule
numbering in IPFW?  I am switching from IPF to IPFW
because it has more functionality, however I am
confused with the rule numbering scheme.  When I read
"how-to's" on the internet people are numbering the
firewall rules in there /etc/ipfw.rules file starting
with 00300, 00301...  and then start going to 00400,
00401, 00402...  What the deal with this scheme?
