It's a static address with the gateway address shared on the firewalls as
active and standby. Not sure if they have a virtual address like VRRP but
doesn't make any difference from Astlinux's perspective.
I did some testing and all seemed to work. Its on a Qotom box so I assume
performance should not be an issue.

Hi Michael,
It would be a special case where you would want the WAN to be a bridge
interface.
How is the WAN interface's IP address defined?
I'm not sure how your two WAN trunks are routed to your bridge interface.
But, if a 2-port ethernet switch would work, so should a 2-interface linux
bridge.
