Hi,

I would like to have some advises on pf. I'd like to use pf for 
clustering a firewall and using pfsync.
Actually I use a Linux Box to do this. The problem is that I have 
specific rules for routing with iproute2 because I got a lot of 
different subnets with multi-homing. It seems that freebsd support 
policy routing only with ipfw.
My question is : is it possible to use ipfw just for policy routing and 
pf just for packet filtering ?
For example I want to to do something like that :

I had a default gateway (a) but if I received a packet from subnet(c) to 
subnet(d) --> use an another default gateway(y)
                                                                  a 
packet from subnet(a) to subnet(x) -->  use an another default gateway(y)


I wonder if route-to of pf is good for my exemple or if I should try 
something else like ipfw for routing and pf for firewalling as I said 
above. Actually I'm using freebsd 6.1 for some tests.

Thanx for your answers.
