What? They didn't already have multiple routing tables?
Oops. Linux has had that since 2.1.x: nice to see them catching up. :)
(sorry, was that too smug?)

OpenBSD's PF and Linux's multiple routing tables and associated rules have a fair amount of overlap in terms of what they accomplish.

The comment was too smug. pf has many real world advancements over the multiple routing tables and such. While I do not 'like' OpenBSD due to too many insults from Theo.. I do recognize that they do a lot of 'real-world' advancement of tools, kernel, etc versus academic ponderings... and due to the focused nature of the team.. they will keep plodding on one idea til they are satisfied with it (versus the shotgun approach of the Linux kernel.. which works because we have enough shotguns to eventually cover regressions (hopefully)).
