Thanks Darren, I am trying to make this Firewall live.. How do I clean up the orphans? ipf -FS -Fs does not clear them. I don't understand why this on particular Firewall is so prone to this issue.

Do they eventually time out? if so then where is this timeout controlled?

Thanks Darren for answering my silly questions..

we are making an IPFilter handy tips page and this stuff would all go on there.

Thanks again,

--Wes

Why is there a disparity in the number of states I can retrieve with
ipfstat and the statistics listed.

Because state table entries can become orphaned from the table.

Can someone explain what the 9/11 means? I see 0/7 on other packets
as well

Observed TCP state of the connection, 9/11 = closing.
