The biggest complication is this:
fwe(4) - emulates Ethernet, but only to other fwe(4) drivers.
Proprietary, non-standard.
fwip(4) - RFC2734-compliant, but IP-only means many things break (ICMP,
OSPF, CARP, STP, IGMP, just to name a few!)
So if you connect fwip-to-X, it'll work as long as you only need IP
packets.
But fwe-to-X doesn't work unless it's another FreeBSD box (or compatible).
For connecting to pfSense boxes back-to-back, sure, use fwe interfaces...
but they'll generally only run at 1394a speeds (aka 400Mbit/sec), so
you're better off with another Gigabit Ethernet port, or even using VLANs
to share a single GigE port.
