For dual stack hosts; with both an IPv4 and IPv6 CIDR that they are listening to - is there a recommended way to setup pf.conf to avoid mistakes/duplication ?
To avoid duplication in constructs such as:
# Foo app servers
foobarserver_host4=231.17.X.Y
foobarserver_host6=fe80::5246:…
# Load balancers - direct or via tun0 in post/fail-back
bar_net=X.Y.Z.Z #
bar_net6=fe80::5246:… #
…
pass in on { tun0, $ext_if } proto udp from $bar_net to $foobarserver_host4 port 2194 keep state
pass in on { tun0, $ext_if } proto udp6 from bar_net6 $var to $foobarserver_host6 port 2194 keep state
Is there some recommended way of doing this in stock FreeBSD ? Or does one usually end up with some sort of macro/generate style solution ?
