 Hi gurus,

 these days I'm playing with programming interface to ''ipfilter'',
 and I thought maybe some of you already have answers to some of
 my questions. Did anybody (besides Darren) tried to write a program 
 to control ipfilter using ipf(4) and ipnat(4) interfaces. I wonder 
 whether you have any comments or advises to share? ;-) 

 Are there any estimations about how long does it take to reload
 ipf/ipnat tables? What happens to the TCP/IP stack during this reload ?

 How painful such an operation could be in the long run -- say, 
 any known resource leaks caused by this reload, or long-time 
 operation leaks ?!

 Thanks a lot,
		-haiut.
