Hi all,

I was wondering what the concensus is on using dynamic rules in IPFW. Every once in a while, I suppose there is a DoS attaclk that causes me to see hundreds of:

+ipfw: install_state: Too many dynamic rules

in my security log.

I am sure i read somewhere that many people are skipping the dynamic rules and just relying on the line by line rules.

You thoughts please.

Any while your up, does anyone really know what this means?

ipfw: pullup failed

I dont see that often maybe 1 or 2 times a month.
