tftp-proxy

Hi,

I am unsuccessful in configuring tftp-proxy to work with my phones.
This is my configuration involved:

FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p2

# cat /etc/pf.conf
wan_if="re0"
phone_if="em0"

set debug urgent
set optimization normal
set block-policy return
set timeout { udp.first 300, udp.single 150, udp.multiple 900 }
set limit { states 20000, frags 20000 }
set skip on lo0
scrub in

nat on $wan_if from $phone_if -> $wan_if
no nat on $wan_if to port tftp
nat on $wan_if proto udp from $phone_if:network to any -> $wan_if static-port
nat on $wan_if from $phone_if:network to any -> $wan_if

rdr-anchor "tftp-proxy/*"
rdr on $phone_if proto udp from $phone_if:network to any port tftp -> 127.0.0.1 port 6969

anchor "tftp-proxy/*"

# grep tftp-proxy /etc/inetd.conf 
tftp-proxy	dgram   udp     wait    root	/usr/libexec/tftp-proxy tftp-proxy -w 5

# grep tftp-proxy /etc/services 
tftp-proxy	6969/udp

# grep inetd /etc/rc.conf 
inetd_enable="YES"
inetd_flags="-a 127.0.0.1"

I observe in the syslog the following message:
Jul 17 16:37:11 spider tftp-proxy[4675]: pf connection lookup failed (no rdr?)
Jul 17 16:37:11 spider kernel: Jul 17 16:37:11 spider tftp-proxy[4675]: pf connection lookup failed (no rdr?)
Jul 17 16:37:11 spider inetd[4665]: /usr/libexec/tftp-proxy[4675]: exited, status 1

tcpdump shows tftp reply packets are getting rejected, which I assume means tftp-proxy is not expecting replies

Not sure what I did wrong. The manual page of tftp-proxy has wrong entry for inetd.conf, it has illegal syntax for FreeBSD's inetd, 
maybe some other nuance was lost during migration from OpenBSD?

Thank you,

Sincerely,
Vadym Chepkov
