>Description:
translation rules with 'pass' will always go to the default
queue on a specific interface, if altq is used.
this *can* be inferred from the current documentation, however
an outright mention of it may be useful/effective/warranted.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
an example clarification of this, is the addition of the following
sentence to the end of the 'Since translation occurs before filtering'
paragraph in the TRANSLATION section of pf.conf.5 ( line 936 of
/usr/src/share/man/man5/pf.conf.5 ) :
If altq is used on the interface, packets matching a translation rule
which uses the pass modifier will be queued into that interface's default queue.
i tried to make my english seem to make sense. in the following patch,
i also tried to ensure that the highlighting/underlining '.Ar' things
are done where appropriate, but i am unsure about whether 'default' and
'queue' should be '.Ar'd at the end?
please pardon me if you find this an irrelevant or useless addition.
