FreeBSD IPFW - Coupla Q's

Howdy,

I have two questions:

Here is an example line from my rc.firewall:

${ipfw} add pass tcp from ${pp0} to any 20,21,25,43,80,110,131,143,194,465 setup
If I need to add ports 51,000 through to 51,994 - is it just as simple as adding
51000-51994
aftter the 465, ?

Secondly, how can I reload the firewall rules without rebooting the box?

Do I need to make a copy of rc.firewall, make it executable, and run it?

Thanking you all.
