bringing pf (4) to OS X via NKE



Hello all,

I'm posting my intention to port pf (4) (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ man.cgi?query=pf&sektion=4) to an NKE for use as a replacement or complement to the current ipfw2.

According to the Network Kernel Extensions Programming Guide (http:// developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/NKEConceptual/ index.html) it seems I might use an Interface Filter KPI mechanism to accomplish such a task. So I ask those who are more familiar with NKEs, is this a reasonable task, am I sane to try it, and do you have any words of advice?

Thank you for your time,
Joe Gorse
