Darn it, Luigi! When I first started using FreeBSD, I learned ipfw. For reasons that I don't really remember now, I eventually switched to ipfilter. Now, thanks to this annoyingly attractive commit, I may have to switch back - especially since I just found out that I'll have to use ipfw if I want to set up firewalling on a bridge(4) system. In all seriousness, this looks terrific.
