problems with tftp-proxy in 11.1?

rdr pass log proto udp \
   from {<all-public-ip-space>,<all-rfc1918-space>} \
   to <pxe-servers> port tftp \
   tag ALLOWED \
   -> 127.0.0.1 port 6969


There is a pass quick tagged ALLOWED later in rules.


/etc/inetd.conf contains:

acmsoda dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/libexec/tftp-proxy tftp-proxy


Depending on circumstances, we see a lot or a very few of the following
messages:
"pf connection lookup failed (no rdr?)"

We also see very slow tftp response through the 11.1 firewall, with
occasional complete failures.
