Hi,

Has anybody ever figured out the trick to getting Jumpstart to work
when ipfilter is running?  I always have to drop my ipfilter rules
on my Jumpstart server for the client (netboot) system to be able to
going.  I did some snoop action, and I saw multicast and broadcast
stuff going by (without ipfilter in the way), so I added the following to my ruleset:

block in  all
block out all
#---take anything in/out via multicast and broadcast for Jumpstart
pass in  from 255.255.255.255 to 137.146.28.80
pass out from 137.146.28.80   to 255.255.255.255
pass in  from 224.0.0.0/3   to 137.146.28.80
pass out from 137.146.26.80 to 224.0.0.0/3

where 137.146.26.80 is the IP of the host (Jumpstart server).
What's the trick?
