>Description:
There is one bug with ipfw keep-state rules and fwd action.

You are unable to make source based routing of incoming connections using this ruleset:

=======
# $ext_if1 - ISP1
# $gw1 - ISP1 GW
# $ext_if2 - ISP2
# $gw2 - ISP2 GW
# $int_if - internal net

ipfw add 100 skipto 300 tag 1 in recv $ext_if1 keep-state
ipfw add 200 skipto 300 tag 2 in recv $ext_if2 keep-state
ipfw add 300 allow { recv $ext_if1 or recv $ext_if2 }
ipfw add 400 allow in recv $int_if
ipfw add 500 fwd $gw1 tagged 1
ipfw add 600 fwd $gw2 tagged 2
=======


To make it working you should patch /sys/netinet/ipfw/ip_fw2.c with this:

====
(find this line)
if (!q || dyn_dir == MATCH_FORWARD)

(change it to this)
if (sa->sin_port && (!q || dyn_dir == MATCH_FORWARD))
====



This problem is presend in FreeBSD 9-CURRENT as well.


Can somebody please merge this patch to CURRENT?

>How-To-Repeat:
have FreeBSD host with two NIC's connected to different networks with different GW each. Applay ipfw rules from example provided. Start some service (SSH/Apache/etc). Make a try to connect to connect to service from network behing GW that is not configured as default gateway on FreeBSD host - answer will go via second NIC/default GW. keep-state ruleset do not works.
>Fix:
applay patch
