Synopsis: PF ruleset doesn't load when it needs to resolve things State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: gavin State-Changed-When: Thu Aug 7 20:09:23 UTC 2008 State-Changed-Why: To submitter: Does adding an entry in /etc/hosts for the fqdn work as expected? With firewalls, there is always a problem as to what order things should be brought up. Idealy the firewall should be up before any interfaces have been assigned IP addresses, otherwise there is a window where the machine is on the network but is unprotected. Obviously, however, this means the machine cannot resolve hostnames during boot unless they are in /etc/hosts.
