Please excuse this question if it is not in your specific area - and
please let me know if not and possibly where to send the question to
get a more specific answer.
I have been using FreeBSD, and contributing where possible, since
version 4.0 and support a number of blind Internet users, depending on
FreeBSD and IPFW to reduce the challenges they must face, especially
from email spoofs and other incursions that are challenges even to
fully sighted persons.
The one question I have regarding IPFW is how many rules may be
attributed to a single rule number. The manual only states that
multiple rules may be assigned to a single number. I am certain that
number must be less than the 4+ million possible IPv4 IP addresses
that may be blocked by an IPFW rule. But just how large a number of
items may a single rule number be used to accommodate?
