Thanks! I was actually looking around in the pf.conf manpage but  
failed to find it yesterday, but looking closer today I now saw it.
Applied the no state (and quick) to the rule, and now no state is  
created.
And the problem I had in the first place seems to have been resolved  
too now, even though it didn't look like a state problem.. (started to  
deny new connections much earlier than the states was full, altough  
maybee i wasnt looking for updates fast enough or something).

Anyways, thanks to all helping me out, and of course thanks to  
everybody involved in FreeBSD/pf and all for great products! Cannot be  
said enough times ;)
