Ipfilter that is included in FreeBSD 5.3 is an old 3.4.35, I was not satisifed with its performance so I thoght that since ipf 4.1.6 is newer and has some new features maybe it can better cope with high NAT traffic. Unfortunately it won't compile cleanly on FBSD5.3-amd64 without supplied patch. I have compiled it with #define LARGE_NAT but so far I have tested it - only on few machines on local LAN and it works fine and I'm sure I will try it on live network with high traffic load :) Regards, gg.
