Currently when IPFW is restarted, all tcp sessions are terminated due to flushed rules. We could possibly prevent the need for flushing by referencing tables in ipfw.vars for all values that will change, such as eip and eif.
This will negate the need to actually restart IPFW since host rules never change.
