  I worked out the problems with the filters by putting
	sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=0

  at the top of /etc/netstart, and reenabled ipforwarding
after installing my filters. I'd like to see the kernel boot with all
forwarding off, and block all if ipfiltering is configured. If you
want to pass things, you can do "ipf -D"
  If you built with IP filtering, then you probably wanted
filtering... 

  I'm still having troubles getting DNS *responses* in that aren't to
port 53. I had expected the syntax to include definitions for source
and destination ports. I've asked that question on the filtering list.
