Hi, im playing with the /etc/crontab to reload the rules periodically, while i remotly edit both crontab and ipfw_rules.sh, this solves the problem of lock-out (but i dont know exactly what other problems it might cause...:)
sshd_config has a ClientAliveInterval (seconds between trys) and ClientAliveCountMax (how many times to try keepalive, before client known as nonrespondig and disconnected) option, and on the client side as ~Neo-Vortex wrote find the keepalive setting.
