In trying to resolve puzzling behavior on a "new" FreeBSD box
(2.2.7-STABLE, cvsup as of 980929), it appears that the behavior of the
SkipTo rules in ipfw/kernel have changed.  Previously a rule such as

2200 skipto 3000 all from 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 recv lo0 in

would "skipto" the next-higher numbered rule in the list if 3000 did not
exist.  This build seems to require that a rule 3000 explicitly exist.  If
it does not exist, it proceeds as if rule 2200 is not matched.

Is this an "intentional" change in the firewall code?  If not, has a later
release changed back to the older behavior?
