Dear Jim

Sorry , maybe my poor english.

My freebsd box have 4 interfaces , 2ix and 2igb .

I connect ssh via igb0.

What I am facing is , I have re-compiled kernel to have netmap.ko ,
a router box (just static routes ) with ix0 and ix1. 

I compile the kipfw and run “ ./kipfw netmap:ix0 netmap:ix1 “ , 
all connection with ix0 and ix1 will getting blocked , 
my ipfw rules is only one line “ add 65534 pass ip from any to any” .

My question is , do netmap with ipfw could be used for a production filtering box ?

I google around and see someone was working but I could not get full documents for installation or testing.

Thanks for advise.

Archy Cho
