That is the way to go ultimately, but I am still a newbie with PF.
I would not want to transfer my newbie-ness into a customers network ;)
I am happy with IPFilter, yes, but I am gradually shifting to PF, but
I have to "graduate" before I can put that out there.
At the moment, I just want to solve an immediate problem which has
presented itself.
