OK in the interests of my own enlightenment I've done a 'man pfctl' and 
googled around a bit and have seen something similar to the above manual 
flush command on several occasions. I've used 'pfctl -Fa -f 
/etc/pf.conf' myself thinking this was the right approach and am now 
worried. It would be nice to get the correct answer to how to update the 
pf ruleset after modifying "/etc/pf.conf"

What is the groups collective wisdom for the "correct" sequence of 
events for re-loading pf rules ?
