Hello,

Does following configuration of linux bridge possible:


                                                  linux box
                                          |------------------------------|
                                          |                        
eth1|---------------------host_A
                  |-----------|            |                              |            
  
"Internet"-----|Router |------------|eth0                  
eth2|---------------------host_B
                  |______|            |                               |
                                          |                         
eth3|---------------------host_C
                                          |__________________|


Idea is that the linux box acting like a switch using "linux bridge". Only 
problem is that how to block "broadcast" packets between ports eth1, eth2 and 
eth3.

Router has the DHCP server and all hosts get their IP address from there.

I would like that communication can be available only between:

eth0 <----> eth1
eth0 <----> eth2
eth0 <----> eth3

This is for security reasons. This way all hosts can be independent.

It there anybody who already have been thinking this kind of configuration


MTi
