I actually use ipfw for everything, I can;t see any real advantage to ipfilter in a situation that we're using it for (some people know where I work) ipfilter has to be flushed and reloaded, I don;t have that luxury ipfw I can add rules on the fly. now back in 3.x, I would have chosen ipf over ipfw, but with the dawn of check-state and keep-state, ipfw wins hands down in this situation. -Trish __ Trish Lynch FreeBSD - The Power to Serve trish@bsdunix.net Rush Networking trish@rush.net On Thu, 27 Jul 2000, Reinoud wrote: > On Wed, 26 Jul 2000, Gerhard Sittig wrote: > > > On Tue, Jul 25, 2000 at 21:56 -0500, Stephen Montgomery-Smith wrote: > > > > > > Would running both ipfw and ipf be considered over the top? > > > > I was never sure whether they collide or not.
