It sees oubound traffic that is not processed with 'ipfw fwd'. That's so funny: 1) A has IP 10.58.0.2/24 and B has. 10.58.0.1/24. From A, I start to ping 10.58.0.1, tcpdump shows requests and replys. 2) I add a rule: "ipfw add 5 fwd 10.58.0.1 from any to 10.58.0.1" ping contiunes to run Ok, ipfw shows that rule maches packes (counters increase) but now tcpdump shows only replies. No request. Very funny. Eugene Grosbein
