Can anyone tell me if RDR works were it initiates a new connection for
the redirected traffic? That is, I have
rdr e1000g0 0.0.0.0/0 port 5000 -> 192.168.11.12 port 5000
Does the traffic in on e1000g0 to port 5000 start a new connection from
the ipfilter host to 192.168.11.12 port 5000? Or does it just modify
the packet in some way (header re-write)? I really need to know if a
new connection is created from the ipfilter host with new seq numbers.
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
Pretty sure it just rewrites the destination address. If u have access
to tcpdump u can verify easily by
dumping the traffic going out to the redirected address.
