Hi,

I have FreeBSD machine which forwards packets between host1 and host2. This
machine has also an additional interface (em2) which act as span interface
- all traffic between host1 and host2 is copied into it.
To achieve this scenario I can set bridge with em0 and em1 as members and
em2 as span interface. But I would like to get same result using pf
instead. So I tried to use this rules:

pass out on em0 dup-to em2 no state
pass out on em1 dup-to em2 no state

But it doesn't work. No packets appear on interface em2. I've checked same
configuration on OpenBSD and everything worked well.
Is there any difference in setting dup-to rule in FreeBSD and OpenBSD pf?

Thanks for help.

Best regards.
