Differences to "ipfw fwd" seem to be minimal. Maybe a sysctl
which changes fwd rule behaviour so that it can either work
as before or similar to 'count' action would be better solution ?
This would be similar to net.inet.ip.fw.one_pass.

(I'm not very actively pushing to sysctl solution, I would
just like to find out best approach before starting actual
coding)
