By now, we're certain that the entire IP Firewall portion of the
Qube GUI is broken. At least five of us have done everything but
rub massage oil on the damn thing, and it simply does not work.

There is speculation that the GUI inserts malformed rules into
the ipfwadm interface (without using the "/m" that would denote
masquerading) but I've been unable to verify this.

We'd all appreciate some input from Cobalt on this. It's a total
failure on a very publicized but massively broken "feature."

Jeff (Lovell)? Anyone? HELP...
