Hi Kenneth,

I have that setup running here, so it is possible, with vuurmuur :)
I'm using isc-dhcpd-V3.1.1 with tftpd in inetd mode

Your vuurmuur rule

RULE="Accept service tftp from local.lan to firewall"

should be the only one you need, I'm guessing your firewall doesn't need 
to download anything using tftp?

Your service definition seems a bit incorrect:
- the services doesn't need a helper
- tftp uses an unprivileged port from the client.

Mine looks like this:

ACTIVE="Yes"
TCP=""
UDP="69*1024:65535"
ICMP=""
GRE=""
AH=""
ESP=""
PROTO_41=""
BROADCAST="No"
HELPER=""

That should do the trick....

Cheers,
Milo
