Hey y'all,
I have a router/firewall built with PF, been using the same config setup since v5.3-RELEASE days, with great success. I am currently running 8.1 on the router and am considering making the jump to the 9 series, but I've seen loads of posts here titled PF and 9.0 problems, and I've come to understand that the pf.conf syntax has changed. Is there a migration utility, How-To or a resource that I can reference before doing the upgrade, so I can keep downtime to as long as it takes the machine to reboot into 9.0? What other gotchas should I look for with the jump from 8.1 -> 9.0? I will be using csup/make world method of upgrading, since I've had great success and have done this method from the above mentioned 5.3 to 8.1 with a slight bit of heartache going to the 7 series that was easily overcome, but I want to be prepared beforehand so I can just state all the more how awesome FreeBSD is �e�e
