The ruleset Matthew posted bears no resemblance to rc.firewall, so I 
don't see that (or how) it solves any generic problem.

Which rc.firewall ruleset are you referring to?  There certainly are 
problems with the 'simple' ruleset relating to use of $natd_enable vs 
$firewall_nat_enable (not to mention the denial of ALL icmp traffic) 
that I posted patches to a couple of years ago in ipfw@ to rc.firewall 
and /etc/rc.d/{ipfw,natd) addressing about 4 PRs .. sadly to no avail.

I suggest following up to ipfw@ (cc'd) rather than net@

cheers, Ian
