You really should read the firewall section of the handbook
and use the working examples contained there.
Oh, most definitely yes. I was assuming Martin (the OP) knew this
since he clearly had gone to the trouble of writing custom rules,
and that the problem was just one of successful integration. I only
use the stock rc.firewall for basic testing, training and POC work,
otherwise I do something like this:
cp rc.firewall custom.ipfw, edit to your needs and use
firewall_type="/etc/custom.ipfw"
And having glanced at the handbook just now, I believe that I
flubbed that assertion above, and the proper use is
firewall_script="/etc/custom.ipfw"
with firewall_type being used to select from within a multi-mode
case structure such as rc.firewall has. Sorry, it's been a long
while since I actually edited any part of my firewall rules (love
that FreeBSD stability ;).
