For testing purposes I've been playing with a second DHCP server on the same network running inside VirtualBox - that machine is set to 192.168.2.99 …
This isn't so much of a proper how-to, but mostly notes to self on how to quickly setup IPFW on FreeBSD 9.
To enable IPFW:
Open up /etc/rc.conf and add the following lines:
firewall_enable="YES" #Enables the firewall - the most important line :)
