setfib selects the routing table for locally originated
outgoing packets. Besides locally originated packets, there
are packets arriving from the network and need to be forwarded.
These packets can be classified in a specific routing table
with the aid of ipfw. That's all there is. I can't think
of something else that needs to be thought with regard to
multiple routing tables.
