This is a very silly rule. It says that you are going to accept
on your ETH0 interface traffice from the 10.10.11.x network going
to the 10.10.11.x network! Its already there.. why have a
rule for it?
Also.. this ruleset should have NOTHING to do with your ISDN
connection.
>If I do 'ipfwadm -Il' it won't show the rule unless the ISDN line is in;

This is because it is trying to resolve the IP addresses when you list
the ruleset. Put your 10.10.11.x network names and addresses in the
/etc/hosts file and that should help a bunch.
