I am using IPFW on a FreeBSD-7.3 machine. Presently, I am loading several tables for IPFW. So far, I have just keep the data for the tables in the actual "ipfw-rules" referenced in the 'rc.conf' file itself. What I would like to do is keep the data for these tables in separate files and just have them imported when the firewall is loaded. I have constructed a simple script that is called from the 'ipfw-rules' file. My question is if there is a better way of accomplishing this? Is there a downside to doing this way? The data for these tables tends to be dynamic and I would rather work with the separate files than edit the master one and risk messing it up. -- Jerry FreeBSD.user@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
