Hi all, 

we are on the way to migrate some linux firewall to a pf firewall. After I read 
the pf faq and manual pages I'm still not sure whats the best way to replace 
iptables "FORWARD" rules. 
It seems to me that I need one "in" and one "out" rule for each FORWARD rule. 
Is this right ? 

Is it ok to use something like: 
------------------------------------------ 
block all 

pass out keep state 

pass in on fxp0 proto tcp from any to 1.2.3.4 port {80,443} synproxy state 
------------------------------------------ 

Or whould the prefered way be: 
------------------------------------------ 
block all 

pass in on fxp0 proto tcp from any to 1.2.3.4 port {80,443} synproxy state 
pass out on fxp1 proto tcp from any to 1.2.3.4 port {80,443} synproxy state 
------------------------------------------ 

I ask because If i need to write 2 rules for each forward the config will get 
really big. 

Thx 
Norman
