So I’ve looked at this a bit more, and I am now going to back away from the whole anchor thing, and try to pretend I didn’t see any of the tentacled horrors that lurk within.

To give you an idea of the issues, loading the following ruleset:

|anchor "foo" { anchor "bar" { pass in } } |

does exactly what you’d expect:

|# pfctl -sr -a "*" anchor "foo" all { anchor "bar" all { pass in all flags S/SA keep state } } # pfctl -sr -a "foo/*" anchor "bar" all { pass in all flags S/SA keep state } |

However, if we |pfctl -Fr| to flush all rules:

|# pfctl -Fr rules cleared # pfctl -sr -a "*" # pfctl -sr -a "foo/*" anchor "bar" all { pass in all flags S/SA keep state } |

Unloading pf to actually delete the bar anchor, and then we set:

|anchor “foo” |

And then

|# echo "pass" | pfctl -g -f - -a "foo/bar" # pfctl -sr -a "*" anchor "foo" all { } # pfctl -sr -a "foo/*" # pfctl -sr -a "foo/bar" pass all flags S/SA keep state |

There are a lot of issues there, and it’ll take a lot of time and effort to root them out. My plan is to drink heavily and attempt to forget.

Hah. Well thank you for looking at it! I do think it's not something to stress about too much.
