Hmm sorry but this was found from a review of the code and observance of an issue when porting it to another FreeBSD based platform.
>Description:
I can't see how the send_pkt() routine in ip_fw2.c would create a valid ipv6 
source and destination address.  This is relevent due to its use in 
ipfw_tick(). Basically in an ipv6 configuration when ipfw_tick() goes 
off to send a keep-alive, I think send_pkt() would produce an 
erroneous IPV4 style packet due to its use of id->dst_ip and id->src_ip rather
than  dst_ip6 and src_ip6 ?   

Further, ipfw_tick() then calls ip_output() rather than any ip6_output() routine.

Cheers
