The bridge approach so far is working, and has the ?nice? side effect of hiding 
the firewall from traceroute. The one issue I did find is that the firewall is 
logging a lot of dropped packets that aren't destined for any of the hosts 
behind the firewall. For some reason traffic to a few hosts on the network is 
apparently being broadcast, instead of directed to one specific port on a 
switch. My solution was to add the following line to the end of 
/usr/share/shorewall/action.Drop

DROP    -       !$ALLHOSTS

Where $ALLHOSTS is defined in params to be a list of all of my hosts. Is there 
a better, more automatic way, that I can tell Shorewall to ignore any traffic 
not destined for a host on the protected side of the firewall?

Thanks,

-Matt
