Well it's not de syntaxes, I always use packet filter system (sometime on
hardware like Foundry/Cisco) where the rule is : First match first use. And
the pf use entire rules is very strange for me (I known I can use «quick»
but....well it's not the philosophy I think).

Lots of thanks for your answer.
