keep this around or are you going to be 'migrating' to pf or 
something? I like IPFW2 :)


i think the ultimate goal is to convert all firewalls to pfil, maybe 
even ditching all but one (IIRC Matt said something like that), but 
those ditched would certainly be available as packages. But it's a long 
way till then, so don't expect any big change in the next half year or 
so.

Alight. It just took me long enough to learn the basic ins and outs of 
IPFW/2 and I have it set up and working nicely on FreeBSD that's all. 
Just so long as it'll still be about for a good while, I likely won't 
have the motivation to move to something new for quite a long time!

Thanks!
