Pete, I've played with that problems a few times. It's not a perfect solution, but you may create your own pf loading script and place it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/. To make sure it's running late in startup, use a proper # REQUIRE: line. That way (and that what makes me saying it's not perfect) pf load script /etc/rc.d/pf is being run but aborts loading pf rules in first place and later (when rc is working though /usr/local/etc/rc.d/) pf rules are loaded by your custom script. HTH, Volker
