Hi,

I have a question regarding ipfw fwd rule.
I'm using FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE and running on it bridging firewall using ipfw.

Now my question comes:)
Can I use ipfw fwd rules against traffic coming to one of the bridged interfaces? I would like to forward some packets (which are destined to port 110) to some other router through third vr0 interface. This is because we have 2 upstream providers and one of the providers is filtering some ports and
I would like to forward such packets to the other provider.

In other words I would like to do something like:

ipfw add fwd z.z.z.z ip from x.x.x.0/19 to any dst-port 25,110

Is it possible? Should z.z.z.z address be included in the routing table of the machine or it doesn't matter?

I appreciate if somebody can give me some direction and advice.

thanks in advance,

Ganbold
