fwd'ing packet originally destined to local interface problem

Hi,

Thank you for the suggestion, but that didn't make any difference, which is
consistent with the docs "If no check-state rule is found, the dynamic
rule-set is checked at the first keep-state or limit rule" (in my case, rule
#1). My dynamic rule set is checked on rule #1 and that causes a skipto 10,
where the next matching rule is #11. The packet count is updated, but *i do
not see the packet coming out the fxp1 interface*.

Any other suggestions?

George
