Hello Julian,

Thank you again for your feedback. I appreciate it very much.

On my understanding this "if 0" was to really ignore this portion of
code, because as I understand what is does is to break (leave the
loop) if the packet is on layer2, and this is something we would not
want, but I guess I am wrong.

I tested now with your suggestion, and what we get is:

Oct  7 15:45:16 phoenix kernel: Entered 0: is_ip=1
Oct  7 15:45:16 phoenix kernel: ip_fw2.c Entered 1
Oct  7 15:45:16 phoenix kernel: Entered 0: is_ip=1
Oct  7 15:45:50 phoenix last message repeated 29 times
Oct  7 15:47:53 phoenix last message repeated 237 times
Oct  7 15:57:56 phoenix last message repeated 1029 times
Oct  7 16:02:51 phoenix last message repeated 655 times
Oct  7 16:02:51 phoenix kernel: ip_fw2.c Entered 1
Oct  7 16:02:51 phoenix kernel: Entered 0: is_ip=1
Oct  7 16:03:23 phoenix last message repeated 54 times
Oct  7 16:05:24 phoenix last message repeated 345 times
Oct  7 16:15:26 phoenix last message repeated 1135 times
Oct  7 16:15:33 phoenix last message repeated 8 times

So yes, we entered on ipfw code now, and executed only the instruction
before we "break".

The curious thing is that the counter did not count now with both:

00001     0       0 fwd 127.0.0.1,80 tcp from any to not me dst-port 80 layer2
00001     0       0 fwd 127.0.0.1,80 tcp from any to not me dst-port 80

How can I move forth?
