Hello Question-ers, (Please cc me in replies) I have a -stable box that I would like to bridge ethernet across 2 of 3 interfaces. If I read the man page correctly, all I have to do is set net.link.ether.bridge to 1 and set net.link.ether.bridge_cfg to a comma- seperated list of interfaces. Eg sysctl net.link.ether.bridge_cfg=dc0:0,dc1:0 would bridge ethernet across dc0 and dc1.
My reasoning for this is to consolidate my firewalls. I have a bridge screening my DSL link and then a NAT machine which hides some more secured networks. Internet (+) DSL modem | [Bridge] | ---+-+--- DMZ | [NAT] | ----+---- "Secure" net I'd like to simplify this to Internet (+) DSL modem | | dc0 +---+ |F/W| dc0 bridged with dc1 +---+ dc1 | | dc2 | +--------- "Secure" net +------- DMZ Is this a sound idea?
