I have seen the newest net-3 stuf. It is coming with a configurable Firewall
which can be configured through ipfw. But the docs are scarce and from looking
at the source code I know they are incorrect.

Specifically I need the following answers:

1. What does the ipfw p <policy> statement exactly do and what is the benefit?

2. What is the iface option mean? It is a third  IP address but why would
this be mentioned in the conditions for routing packets?
