If I create a rule to 'fwd' packets with a particular TCP option set (or IP option) to a specific local port, and then I accept on that port, will subsequent packets without that option work?
ie, I have this: 100 fwd localhost,9000 tcp from any to any 1234 tcpoptions ts recv interface SYN (TCP option SACK=1), Dest port=5555, Dest ip = random-host SYN/ACK ACK (no TCP options) will the first SYN reach me? (yes I think, even though the IP is not mine and the dest port is not me, the ipfw fwd magic takes care). Will the ACK from the client reach me? (the dest ip is not me, so will the stack discard, or will the already created PCB take care of this?) I'd like to carry on a normal TCP conversation, but select the local port that terminates it based on a TCP option. The destination IP will be somewhere else (its a transparent proxy application).
