    If you add them with this command 'ipfw add ...' then you do lose them
    at the reboot indeed.

    If you create your own firewall then its better to create your own file
    as rc.firewall can get overriden by mergemaster. One only wants to use
    this script if likes the default.

    You may wanna look at my homepage, I have a couple of articles about
    firewalls. Please feel free to contact me if you have trouble with it.
