ftp connections not working from firewall box

Hi again,

another problem with my new pftpx setup is that because of

rdr on xl0 inet proto tcp from any to any port = ftp -> 127.0.0.1 port 8021

only connections coming in via the internal interface get redirected to
pftpx. Due to that FTP connections originating on the machine itself
don't work because they leave directly via the external interface so that
pftpx doesn't see them to add the proper firewall rules.

Is there a workaround or proper solution for this (possibly including a
rant about my braindamage ;) ?
