I believe pf is per-flow. If it was not, then not only would your packets arrive out-of-order, but also with different source IPs when you were NATing to different interfaces on different ISPs (without your own block) which is something I was able to do with 3 links (with three different IP addresses) from 2 different providers. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
