can you comment re: whether as built-in the kernel, or as an extension?
the former (maybe?) probably has some performance advantages, but the
latter could allow for the inclusion/addition of
"pf" as well.
i've read strong arguments on the lists for both pkgs ...
It will most likely be an network kernel extension, best to do it the
Darwin way ;)
I currently use pf and have nothing but positive things to say about it.
