Ok, I got a check-state too many.

The goal is simple: I want to limit connections to port 25 to 32 in total,
targeted at "me". And of those 32, only 4 per source. Like so:

ipfw add 1 check-state
...
ipfw add 11 allow tcp from any to me 25 setup limit dst-addr 32
ipfw add 12 allow tcp from any to me 25 setup limit src-addr 4

Please, tell me then how "all wrong" this is. Because I *still* get the
impression that rule 12 is never reached. And, so far, "ipfw show" does,
indeed, only show activity on rule 11.

Thanks,
