I think we have done something like that... but... Hem, let me tell you. We wanted to insert transparently a firewall between two routers (there was nothing but an ethernet link between these two routers), but without changing the routers' configuration (i.e without saying to one router that he should give his packets to the firewall instead of giving them to the other router). Unfortunately, we didn't manage to have this work done by a dual homed linux box, although we tried almost everything, because we needed bridging (the default firewalling policy was an accept policy), but bridging+firewalling+transparency doesn't work with the linux kernel for the moment. That's why we decided to use a freebsd box, and everything worked fine. -- MaXX
