I understand exactly what you are saying.  We had our doubts about it working but 
there weren't any alternatives.  I don't like the idea of having a port wide open when 
a proxy is what's needed.  Can you think of any other way to do this?

How can you use a bridge for a proxy? A bridge does not have IP protocol
addresses associated with its interfaces, it only has Ethernet
addresses. I don't think you can use a bridge for anything other than a
filtering gateway at least not network wise.

Subject: FTP Proxy with IPF 3.4.28

I tried using the FTP Proxy on my little OpenBSD 3.1 machine running as
a bridge.  It appears the proxy will not kick in because the NAT engine
isn't used for the bridge.  Is there any way around this?  Am I doing
something wrong?  It's a generic install of OpenBSD and IPF.

Thanks.

Ken
