Hi guys,

	I noticed ipfilter and pf are not capable yet of correctly handling
traffic states when run in bridged enviroments.

	I tried ipfw to see if it works, but either I did a mistake, either it
doesn't work either.

	I can block any traffic with IPFW on my bridge (3 NIC cards bridged
together), as long as I evoid using keep-state / check-state keywords.

	The bridge and ipfw code is loaded as module.

	I just wanted to check. So, can anyone please tell me, is IPFW able to
correctly keep all states in bridged enviroments? (5.3-RELEASE)

	Thanks a lot!

Yours,
