Synopsis: ipfw fwd host,port is broken with udp
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: glebius
State-Changed-When: Tue Dec 27 08:52:17 UTC 2005
State-Changed-Why:
Not a bug. From ipfw(8) manual page:
fwd | forward ipaddr[,port]
Change the next-hop on matching packets to ipaddr, which can be
an IP address or a host name. The search terminates if this rule
matches.
If ipaddr is a local address, then matching packets will be for-
warded to port (or the port number in the packet if one is not
specified in the rule) on the local machine.
If ipaddr is not a local address, then the port number (if speci-
fied) is ignored, and the packet will be forwarded to the remote
address, using the route as found in the local routing table for
that IP.
