    Actually, it should.


I have over 600000 addresses in an ipfw table with no observable trouble.
But that rule is triggered only about 10000 times a day (part of a spam
blocker).


Well actually it does work. So once again, I'm impressed by FreeBSD.
What no longer really works is 'ipfw l' since that takes longer than I care to wait for it.

Forgot to mention: 4.7-PRERELEASE :(


ugh... no tables
and 45000 lines will be bad.

load an old PC with 6.2
and seet it up as a bridge with 2 interfaces.
and use ipfw table to filter on the bridge

It's a box that I "inherited", and is supposed to go away/upgrade for already too long. It is so old, I only dear fix the most essential security, in fear of breaking or trashing the system. This however helps as a stick to get things moving.
