Hi everyone

TL,DR: pf between NFS server and clients - how to let the appropriate
traffic pass?

My NFS server and its clients live on different subnets, with a box
doing the routing and the filtering in between. Since I'm filtering
traffic between subnets and both mountd and nlockmgr get random ports,
the only way I could figure out to pass traffic is using a pf anchor.
pfctl over ssh is then used to automatically set the appropriate rules.

Although this works in general (except for rpc.lockd), it feels a bit
like a kludge... I guess something like ftp-proxy would be more
appropriate for the task. What's the common approach for this?

TIA
Zé
