Precondition: /etc/pf.conf contains scr_addr/dst_addr set to FQDNs

On boot, the consoles shows error about not being able to load pf.conf
because it can't resolve the symbolic names.

http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Setup.activate says:

    "... if you had specified a DNS-resolved symbolic name in any of
     the files, you would probably find it worked as expected after
     reconfigure, but on initial boot, your external resolver may
     not be available, so the configuration will fail."

but I thought that the statement might be limited to `netstat`, and
/etc/rc runs `netstat` before loading the firewall rules.  So I'm not
sure why it's not working...

Anybody run into this before?  - is the fix to add all the symbolic
names to /etc/hosts?

Thanks,
Kent
