We have some accounting scripts that run nightly ipfwadm scripts and I
noticed that using ipfwadm -A -l and -A -l -n shows that the DNS name for
an IP number we changed last week didn't make it into the ipfwadm list yet.
This is rather confusing because we now have no clue where some things are
counted. We have the following scenario. We're counting two IP numbers,
which have DNS names of foo.com and www.foo.com. Now, the www service moved
from one machine to the other. So foo.com becomes foo.com as well as
www.foo.com, and the old www.foo.com becomes www2.foo.com.
Now using ipfwadm -A -l | grep www2.foo.com yields nothing. So I'm assuming
the old foo.com/www.foo.com are still used somehow by the kernel? Is there
anyway to fix this? It would be rather silly to have to reboot for this.
