Unless you're running -CURRENT, order doesn't matter when using a divert
rule. Processing starts over at the first rule in the list after the
divert. If you want to change this behavior, you'll need the latest kernel
sources, and you'll need to recompile the kernel with

option      IPFW_DIVERT_RESTART

in the config file, which tells ipfw to restart processing after the
divert rule, instead of at the first rule.

This is the default behavior in 3.0, though.

Cheers,
