You could use ipfw sets and disable the sets at the start of the script
- excluding the pass-thru rules.
My rc.firewall script disables all the scripts and only enables the ones
I want. I can then run scripts from cron to enable/ disable any sets I
like. You can load all the rules you want into sets that are disabled,
and then you can enable them at will.
That's one suggestion - although I did see a command somewhere to
disable ipfw at runtime. man ipfw

Hi all,
What is the best way to enable/disable ipfw on a FBSD 5.x box,
without reboot?
I.e. If I have a box that booted with 'firewall_enable="NO"' in
rc.conf, how can I enable it without reboot?
Thank you,
- Marcelo
