Yes, the handbook IPFW section is still crazy after all these years,
despite ongoing attempts to limit the damage. Best just ignore it.
Best overall would be to fix the documentation. Given that there seems
to be more interest in IPFW lately, it would be nice if someone
well-versed in it would repair or even rewrite the IPFW handbook
section. Rewrites are sometimes less work than fixing an old section
that no longer fits actual usage.
I have not used IPFW in years, but would be willing to help with an
edit/rewrite.
