Jose, Correct. If you load a block rule with an anchor or by hand, but the state has already been made for a connection, the current state will not be cleared. If you wanted to clear all states before you load the new rules this could be done.
Selectively, you can use "pfctl" with the argument "-k" to drop connections dependent on ip address. For example, If we wanted to drop all states from any ip to our internal server at 10.10.10.22 we could execute: pfctl -k 0.0.0.0/0 -k 10.10.10.22 Hope this helps.
