So how does it work with something larger than a /24?  In my last message I 
used:

... ip from 1.2.36.0/22{36.1,37.2,38.3,39.4} to ...

Is this correct?

And if what I gather from your reply then one could do:

... ip from 0.0.0.0/0{1.2.3.4,2.3.4.5,3.4.5.6} to ...

Or is that asking too much?  8-)

So for now it can only be a comma separated list and only port values can 
use ranges.  Right?


Forgot to mention before IPFW2 will show up in the dmesg.

cheers!
