Hi All;

I have set up a 3 leg environment for PF, with one management nic, one
inline nic, and one nic directly into the firewall.  The desired setup
is that inline-client traffic would traverse PF, exit via the firewall
nic, thus being forced to traverse the firewall before going anywhere
else.  Client traffic going via the management vlan is undesireable in
our case, as we wish to apply firewall acls to inline client traffic
in the future.

In this setup, the passive mode vlan configuration functions happily.
Clients in the 'normalVLAN' get to the right place, recieve DHCP ok,
and route as expected.

However, it appears inline-clients only recieve return traffic when
the return route on the firewall is set to return via the management
nic. This is incorrect as the routes are divergent, but the PF default
route (and my firewall traffic counters being lopsided) tells me that
the traffic did leave via the pf-to-firewall nic.  This says to me
that iptables might need an extra instruction to allow return traffic
on the 'firewall-vlan' nic.  Is this possible, or have I done
something else wrong?  Any help (including iptables syntaxes!) would
be really appreciated!!

Best regards!
Ian Manson
