not to stray too far, but if IPFW is set to allow all incoming packets and is
only used for shaping, and you have ipfilter handling nat, then it seems it
would just be:

 network card --> IPFW (traffic shape) --> IPF (filter+nat) --> userland

 i guess an internally NAT address would go back out as:
  IPF --> IPFW --> network card

 doesn't seem that bad...
