use ipfw to set the fib number based on some bits in the address of 
the internal machine.

e.g. ipfw setfib 1 tcp from (some internal pattern) to (the outside) 
in recv (internal interface) keep_state

There are several ways to do this.. this is just one... The above will 
assign a dynamic rule for all packets between the  two machines and 
the table in question will be always used. for that tupple.
