I see.

Unfortunately that makes things even worse.  The "dst-ip"
word is still there, and additionally any rules containing
"from any to any" are shortened, which is also not accepted
as input to ipfw(8).

What do you think about adding a new option that lists the
rules in a format that can be fed back as input to ipfw(8)?
There are several tools with similar options, for example
"stty -g".  So far -g is not used in ipfw(8), so ...

Best regards

I suggested holding a "Python Object Oriented Programming Seminar",
but the acronym was unpopular.
