            Bug ID: 239590
           Summary: ipfw rule doesn't forward TCP connections made through
                    the host's LAN address
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
          Reporter: y...@freebsd.org

I need to forward incoming TCP connections made to my host 192.168.5.3 on the
port 3100 to the IP address 10.0.0.101 port 3000 connected through another
interface.

These rules work when connection is made from a remote host:
> ipfw -q nat 19001 config redirect_port tcp 10.0.0.101:3000 192.168.5.3:3100
> ipfw -q add 19001 nat 19001 tcp from any to 192.168.5.3 3100 in recv sk0
> ipfw -q add 19001 nat 19001 tcp from 10.0.0.101 3000 to any out xmit sk0

The problem:
A similar firewall rule for connections from the host's LAN IP address (that
pass through lo0) doesn't work:
> ipfw -q add 19001 nat 19001 tcp from 192.168.5.3 to 192.168.5.3 3100 in recv 
> lo0

Wireshark shows that the incoming connection is from 192.168.5.3 to 192.168.5.3
on 3100 but it gets immediately rejected instead of being forwarded.
This rule looks very similar to the second rule above, just the interface is
different. Why doesn't it work?
