ipfw state tables

[Wayne Pascoe]

Hi all,

We're using ipfw as a firewall solution on our network. We are using
stateful rules.

The problem I have though, is that when we reload our ipfw ruleset, all
existing connections to or through the particular machine are lost. This
means a lot of hung ssh sessions.

Is there any way to save the state tables before firewall restart and
then reload them once the new rules are in place ? 

Regards,
