Hello, 

The problem at hand is how to define the macros ext_if and int_if for a system 
with multiple interfaces.

Neither pf.conf(5) nor "the book of PF" give a working example where the macro 
holds more than one name.

This is the only existing example of relevant syntax in pf.conf(5):

> ext_if = "kue0"
> all_ifs = "{" $ext_if lo0 "}"
> pass out on $ext_if from any to any
> pass in  on $ext_if proto tcp from any to any port 25

Note that all_ifs is not used, so we do not know whether $all_ifs, <all_ifs> or 
plain all_ifs is correct.

I also need to know whether the following two options are equivalent from the 
standpoint of pf:

# option 1

/etc/pf.conf
int_if = "{" ix0 ix1 "}"
ext_if = "em0"

/etc/hostname.ix0
inet 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.255
up

/etc/hostname.ix1
inet 192.168.1.7 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.255
up

# option 2

/etc/pf.conf
int_if = "vether0"
ext_if = "em0"

/etc/hostname.vether0
inet 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.255

/etc/hostname.bridge0
add ix0
add ix1
add vether0
blocknonip ix0
blocknonip ix1
blocknonip vether0
up

/etc/hostname.ix0
up

/etc/hostname.ix1
up


Thank you.
