Subject:   IPFILTER/ipnat does not work at boot until manually syncing  with ipf -y

Hello.

I've setup a firewall/gateway machine, connected via PPTP to adsl and using IPFILTER/nat to give access to the private internal Lan.

Unfortunately I'm experiencing problems in getting the machine self starting on boot with all whistles and bells, because the nat functions does not not operate fine when the machine booted, UNTIL issuing by hand a ipf -y,  OR flushing/reloading the intenal lists of rules (ipnat).

I've located the startup scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, with the PPTP starting correctly as well as the ipnat statements being executed apparently well. Nevertheless, at every boot, I'm forced to log into the machine as root and to issue the ipf -y command manually, and only until then the internal machines can reach the Internet.

Is there any suggested precednce or procedure in firing up the PPTP connection without disturbing the IPFILTER internal lists or any hint in this regard?

Thank you for any help!
