I recently began using a VoIP phone service (SunRocket) and need to 
ensure that the SunRocket hardware has priority over any other traffic 
on my slow DSL connection.  For years I've used ipfw for my firewall so 
I tried shaping traffic with dummynet but it seems unreliable.  Because 
the man page says dummynet isn't a true QoS, I decided to move from ipfw 
to pf.  From what I've read, seems pf is a much better firewall anyway 
and now I have the need.  :)

I've worked up a pf.conf file following the tutorial at 
http://www.bgnett.no/~peter/pf/ but there are a few items that I can't 
seem to get right.  Blacklamb sits behind my router and I have some 
ports redirected to it. This rule doesn't seem to match packets and 
create a state rule:

pass log proto { tcp, udp } to blacklamb port $blacklamb_ip_services \
      flags S/SA synproxy state

But when I use this one, things are OK.
pass log proto { tcp, udp } to blacklamb port $blacklamb_ip_services 
keep state

Is synproxy state supposed to work with redirection?

Also, when trying to put VoIP traffic in a priority queue, this rule is 
not matching and I don't understand why:

pass out log on $ext_if from gizmo to any keep state queue voip_out

I'd really appreciate any help and comments on my rule set in general.

Thanks,

Drew
