        This kind of flag might be easy to add to ipfw, I think.
        Currently, in ip_input there is:

        if (ipsec_gethist(m, NULL)
                goto pass;

        Maybe one could remove this, add 'ipsec' flag to ipfw 
        (which would use the above ipsec_gethist to match it)
        so the syntax would be something like this:


        ipfw add pass tcp from a to b ipsec setup # matches only packets that came 
via ipsec stack
        ipfw add pass 50 from a to b # matches packets that didn't come via ipsec

        I think that this would be much cleaner than fake interfaces
        most implementations seem to use.
