it was intended as a required temporary measure,
but even though it was listed in my ipfw list, i was/am still seeing 
traffic coming in via addresses such as 180.248.x.x


A very open firewall test script is as follows:

00010 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00081 deny log ip from 180.0.0.0/8 to any
00100 check-state
00101 allow tcp from any to any established
00102 allow ip from any to any out keep-state
00103 allow icmp from any to any
65535 deny ip from any to any

but i'm still seeing traffic from

180.149.29.102
180.234.116.61
180.234.36.44
180.234.237.119
180.234.72.115

I must be doing something wrong!
Paul.
