There are articles on ipfw and ipfilter at www.freebsddiary.org, not to mention the handbook at www.freebsd.org. 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html

Please try to get in the habit of consulting these resources before posting questions to the list (not that I always do).
