As far as I know, the source address of a packet should never be
set to the broadcast address.
Based on that observation, why would you trust me to suggest

Was the patch you submitted one that you were actually using, or
one you extracted from our own custom rules?
The rule I'm currently using is
ipfw add pass all from $internal_net to $internal_broadcast via de1
(de1 being the internal net interface).
