Not a direct answer, but you should generally put
add allow all from any to any via lo0
near the start of a rules list. Some things may break if you block
loopback conections.

Subject: IPFW strange events
Hello,
This is occurring on a 4.8-RELEASE server using IPFW2...
I have numerous rules that block bogus networks... one of which is:
ipfw add 0104 deny log ip from 96.0.0.0/3 to any
And I know it's working because using "ipfw list" I get:
00104 deny log ip from 96.0.0.0/3 to any
Whenever that rule is active, it's blocking packets - "ipfw show":
00104 21 1148 deny log ip from 96.0.0.0/3 to any
BUT....
Various services stop working... so I look at /var/log/security and see
NUMEROUS entries such as this:
Nov 1 10:30:00 server /kernel: ipfw: 104 Deny TCP 127.0.0.1:1051
127.0.0.1:80 out via lo0
Now I don't see anything in the rule about the localhost address, yet
that's what it's blocking. But a little bit ahead of that rule, I do
have this one:
ipfw add 082 divert natd all from any to any via fxp0
Would it help to put all the bogus network deny rules ahead of the
divert rule?
Stumped,
Chris
