Otto, Henning and Stuart ....to-the-point answers. Thanks guys. I have taken the post over to FreeBSD list. However, Henning, I am curious why you call pf on anything but OpenBSD a "starter drug?" Is the performance difference that huge? pf on FreeBSD 7.2 is version 4.1.
You have piqued my interest and may convince me to switch to OpenBSD. Keep the posts coming. Yudhvir
