Sounds great aslong as the 100mbps net's is not slowed down :).. To slow down the 10mbps part was the idee of my configuration.

Where can i find the information obout integrated firewall?

Subject: [Bridge] Mixing 10 and 100mbps

Hello. I have a question.

Will there be any problem if i mix 10 and 100mbps cards on a bridge. I
want to have 3 cards in my firewall. one 100mbsp from the internet. One
100mbps to the local net and one 10mbps to a not trusted area that
should have special rules in iptables and only 10mbsp speed

Works fine. I'm using a Linux-machine as bridge between 100baseTX and
1000baseT. But you should consider that any packet passes through by
default. That means 100 MBit/s will be sent to the 10 MBit/s-net. So there
could be slow downs in the 10 MBit/s-net.

But bridging allows a integrated firewall, too. This enables you to have
some influence on the amount of data.
