The following reply was made to PR kern/97504; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Oliver Fromme <olli@lurza.secnetix.de> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, freebsd-ipfw@FreeBSD.org, marcelo_vt@hotmail.com (Marcelo Machado) Cc: Subject: Re: kern/97504: [ipfw] IPFW Rules bug Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 15:38:13 +0200 (CEST) Hello Marcelo, I just stumbled across this old PR which is still open. Apparently the problem was caused by missing DNS access, not a bug in IPFW itself. Note that DNS queries often happen "behind the scenes". Even if you use IP numbers only, many programs will try to perform reverse-lookup. Do you agree that the PR can be closed? Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
