Maybe I misunderstood you.  On the input rule, doesn't -W refer to the the
interface where the traffic is coming into
For example:  "ipfwadm -I -a deny -W eth1 -S any/0"
Isn't this saying "deny all traffic entering eth1?"

For the forward rule, what does something like this, "ipfwadm -F -a
accept -W eth1 -S any/0 -D 192.168.1.2" mean?
Let's assume that eth1 is the external NIC in a dual-homed gateway.

Thanks.
