i never found a clear document on this subject. could someone correct 
me if i'm wrong ?

 1) all ip packet from outside goes to ipfw host ip, so incoming packets
     rules must be wroten with the gateway IP as source, and not the
final
     masqueraded host.
     ie. the ipfwadm rules come before the masquerading process.

 2) the 'ipfwadm -O' apply first, before all others. i'm thinking to
     module as ip_masq_ftp. for PASV mode, i had to add a
'ipfwadm -a accept -W eth1 -P tcp -S 0/0 1023:$MXPORT -d $GW
1023:$MXPORT'
i don't like this line.

 3) incoming without '-W' means incoming packets on all interface 
 4) outgoing without '-W' means ougoing packets on all interface

 amicalement,
