First of all, you should probably use "ipfwadm -Mln" instead of just
"-Ml", because the extra "-n" option won't hang if the DNS server (or
the network in general) is having trouble. Plus, sometimes it takes a
while to lookup hostnames. So I recommend "ipfwadm -Mln".
That being said, no, you should not see anything in that listing, unless
there is a connection CURRENTLY on-going through the masq subsystem. In
other words, if you are currently fetching data from a web page, or
accessing an FTP or IRC server, or you have a telnet session open from
one of your masq clients. Otherwise, it will correctly show you no
information.
