For those that use IPFilter with IPv6 on NetBSD, does the current
configuration cause any problems for you?

Do you edit ipf.conf and forget to edit ipf6.conf or vice verssa?

Are there interaction issues or reporting problems needing to
remember -6?

If there was just a single configuration file, ipf.conf, that
contained all IP (IPv4/6) firewall rules, would this make like
easier or harder?

If you were forced to manually transition your current system
layout with both ipf.conf and ipf6.conf, would this be a serious
issue?

One other question, if NAT were to support IPv6 also, would you
expect a ipnat6.conf or for it to all fit in ipnat.conf?

Consider, with this, that with ippool, I've decided to use the same
pool to hold both IPv4/6 addresses.

Comments?
