Hmm. You pass it a 'tag' which, I thought, is the ipfw
rule number of the firewall after which rule processing should
restart. I think I understand your point though.

I sent it to freebsd-ipfw and waited for a day before
sending this to hackers. I send lots of email to -net and rarely
receive anything back. I wonder if people just skip over it or
what? The only list were I can get (at least) a response is
-hackers.
It is very frustrating finding answers sometimes. Especially
when I just need a clarification on something that most
programmer's think 'duh stupid'.
Anyway, Thanks for the reply...I appreciate it.
