It Works! I cannot tell you for how long we looked for this information. Thanks a lot.

One comment for another novice who might try this. Make sure the ipfilter service has been enabled. Use “svcadm enable ipfilter” before you apply the ipf -f /etc/… command. Normally it should be running, but you never know after having played with the ipfilter…

I think you need this entry:

pass out quick on nge0 to nge1:10.1.10.1 from 10.1.10.21 to any

What you had makes sense in losing all traffic. It will pass any traffic from the 192.168.1.21 IP to the nge1 interface to the router at 10.1.10.1. This will in a sense send all nge0 traffic to the nge1 interface, causing all the traffic to stop.

The 2 IPs on the ipf rule should both be on the same network.

We have a very similar ISP scenario. When I tried the single line ipfilter command, it caused all network traffic to stop.

Here’s what I have:
nge0: 192.168.1.21 (ffffff00)
nge1: 10.1.10.21 (ffffff00)

The defaultrouter is set to 192.168.1.1.
I can access the server from either net (locally), and I can access the server from the wan side through the 192.168.1.1 router.

I added the line:
pass out quick on nge0: to nge1:10.1.10.1 from 192.168.1.21 to any
to my /etc/ipf/ipf.conf file. It is the only entry which exists. Next I applied the change to ipf with the command:
ipf -f /etc/ipf/ipf.conf
… and traffic stops. Help!

I recently created csshX which might be an interesting alternative to cssh for OS-X: http://code.google.com/p/csshx/
