Can't answer your questions directly, but the following may be informative: >From the fine Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls-pf.html Warning: When browsing the PF FAQ, please keep in mind that different versions of FreeBSD can contain different versions of PF. Currently, FreeBSD 7.X and later are using the same version of PF as OpenBSD 4.1. The "PF FAQ" being referred to is that of OpenBSD. -- George
