While I appreciate the attitude to help, how about trying things
before mailing out incorrect explainations ?

You do not need to remove the rule before the pipe, because enforcing
this would be a nightmare when you want to reconfigure pipes or
in general your ipfw configuration.

Instead, you can have rules which point to non-existing pipes (which
can be a temporary or permanent condition). When such a rule matches,
and the pipe is not existing, the packet is just dropped.
