Hi Tia,

FreeBSD doesn't currently have any ipf support in rc.conf and rc.firewall.
I've promised to do this, and it looks like I better get hopping if I want
it to be included in freebsd 4.0.  You probably want do some something like
"/sbin/ipf -f /etc/ipf.rules" in your rc.firewall script, or maybe even in
rc itself.  If you're also doing nat, "/usr/sbin/ipnat -f /etc/ipnat.conf".
As an aid in creating ipf.rules and ipnat.conf, take a look at the howto
