Subject:   ipfw2 mac address matching weirdness?
Message-ID:  <20030802203114.J4501@net-ninja.dyndns.org>

I'm running FreeBSD 4.8 RELEASE w/ IPFW2 support enabled.  I'm running
into some weirdness with the mac address matching feature or perhaps it's
my lack of understanding how it interacts with other rules. :)

My goal is to transparently redirect everything except a few select MAC
addresses but it doesn't appear to work properly.  For example:

net-ninja# ipfw list
00001 skipto 65535 ip from any to any MAC any any in via sis0
00002 fwd 127.0.0.1,8080 tcp from any to any dst-port 80 in via sis0
65535 allow ip from any to any

This should allow every MAC address to bypass the transparent redirect but
it doesn't.  If I change rule #1 to:

00001 skipto 65535 ip from any to any in via sis0

Things work as advertised.  Any ideas?
