That's some interesting feedback. There's probably another tunable for how
long IPFW dynamic rules are supposed to persist by default.
In answer to your closing remark, I would attempt to configure static rules
for known-permitted services, especially the most commonly used ones, and rely
on dynamic rules only for ad-hoc internal traffic, and not for inbound client
requests.
