Setting the firewall_quiet option in rc.conf to "NO" has made it so that every time there is an attempt on a port with nothing listening, it gets logged to /var/log/messages. How would one go about making exceptions to the log? I'm getting UDP hits from my one of my ISP's nameservers on port 53 (it's bind, but not running locally). Would this be done with an ipfw rule or setup somehow in hosts.allow? Or is this even possible? Also, can it be configured to be in its own log file (like syslog)?
