Hello Pyun,

I just tried this with pf and indeed that works, so you (and manuel) are
correct that this is not hme but indeed ipfilter, my bad!

I will forward the ticket to darrenr, i can provide support with my
system where needed :)

cheers
remko

p.s. I can also try to reproduce the problem with 'if_em' :)
