This is not a good idea - IMHO. The problem is twofold: First, it adds a special handling for a special case and is not a general sollution to the problem (i.e. what if I want to use altq instead?). Second, it adds complexity to the already painfully complex ipfw-grammar. In my opinion we need a cleanup here first. I remember that we had an extensive discussion about this around FreeBSD-SA-05:13.ipfw - the bottom line seems to be: either parallel or cacheing. Stack storage should work as well. -- /"\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
