I'm running an ipfw firewall on a FreeBSD 6.1 and i wonder if ipfw can add rules automatically when it detects, for example, that an ip address has 100 connections open in the server. I'm doing a similar thing with a perl script and netstat. The script counts how many connections an ip address opened and it automatically adds a new rule to the firewall, but I'm looking for a way in which ipfw does that on its own. thank you.
