CP not redirecting to port 8000!

[squidster]

I have a CaptivePortal which is not redirecting…everything is ok.
Traffic gets funneled to the LAN interface port 80.. However, it just doesn't show up at port 8000!

ipfw counters doesn't seem to be updated!
Landing page comes up fine when the browser is pointed to port 8000, just that traffic doesn't get redirected to port 8000 automatically!

Replying to my own post:
Turned out that indeed the layer 2 filtering was turned off!

The culprit is: net.link.ether.ipfw!!!
Once turned on:
                        sysctl net.link.ether.ipfw=1
Everything just started working!
The question is:
Do I need to put this is /etc/sysctl.conf?
