I used=20

sysctl -a net.inet.ip.fw.enable=3D0  && firewall.sh &&
net.inet.ip.fw.enable=3D1 && sleep 60 && reboot
and I would hit a ^c to stop the sleep and reboot if I didn't wack the
firewall rules.
  The reboot would put it back to rc.conf firewall

Never got disconnected.

Only window of vulnerability was while loading new firewall rules.

Yours is safer.
