While I have seen iptables rules like -i br0 -o br0 ACCEPT, I do not think they are necessary normally. I know my bridge device will move traffic from eth0 to eth1 and vice-versa without iptables (I don't think it's even in my kernel). > the bridge(br0) does not have an ip address. That seems wrong to me, my bridge device (between the two GB eithernet ports on my MB) does indeed get an IP address and neither eth0/1 gets one.
