That looks good. I should have RTFM.

Is it reasonable to try something like:

ipfw add allow tcp from evil/24 to any dst-port 80 setup limit src-addr 100

Anyone ever figured out what the average/max number of simultaneous
dynamic rules needed to support an http session?


Normally a http request is one tcp connection,
some browsers open more connections to speed things up.
You could add special rules for avupdate-host.norton.com
or somesuch.

An even better solution would be a (transparent) proxy
setup, with allow rules for *.norton.com in the proxy
software.
The kind of restrictions you are trying to enforce are
quite a bit easier achieve with propper userland
proxy software.


Excellent idea. There is already a squid running on that machine. Can I force a client to use a proxy with:


ipfw add forward myhost tcp from evil/24 to not myhost dst-port 3128
