But looking at ipfw man pages I don't see anything like that. I'm just wondering if there are people who think about starting such a thing, then none OS will beat FreeBSD as a router :) I think ipfw suits for this the best, like it was done with DUMMYNET. Well, I have not looked at dummy's sources yet ... So I just ask, are there any people who want start/help2do/consult on it? I have no OS developing experience, just utils and daemons, so can't be a team leader, but will join one with pleasure. == ts To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
