    I have quite a few firewall rules (FreeBSD 4.7R). This causes the server
    start-up to take several minutes extra. I wanted to have the rules loaded in
    the background; like so:

    firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall &"

    But, alas, that does not work. :( Is there a way to do this at all?

    Thanks!

    - Mark
