I'm running 2.2.5-RELEASE and have been planning to set up a firewall 
using ipfw and rc.firewall.  I just stumbled across IP Filter 
(http://coombs.anu.edu.au/ipfilter/), which claims to be included in 
FreeBSD-current (post 2.2).  Would I be better off installing and 
using that package, or should I stick with ipfw?  What's the 
difference between the two?

Secondly, regardless of which package I use, what are the minimum 
requirements for a box that will be filtering traffic on a T1?  I'd 
hate to be creating a bottleneck...

Thanks,
Dave
