I was looking over the bridging example posted earlier, but it wasn't quite what I was wondering about. Is it possible to bridge an OPT interface to the WAN interface even though the WAN interface is in a totally different subnet than the hosts on the OPT interface? My situation:
home DSL line. my LAN has NAT'ed addressed in 10.0.0.0/24 subnet. WAN is a static IP assigned by ISP. I share DSL line with roommate, but because we have limited upload (384kb), if he's doing anything at all outbound, my latency goes down the toilet. He has a routable C block the ISP sends down the DSL line, and has his own firewall. The net port on the DSL modem is connected to a 10mb switch, into which each of our WAN ports is plugged. So... What I'd like to do is add an OPT interface and bridge it to the WAN interface. Then, unplug his WAN cable from the DSL modem and plug it into said OPT interface. I'd then use the traffic shaper to give his outbound traffic the lowest priority there is (and no, I don't feel guilty about this, because DSL line is mine, and he's free-riding on it.) Will this work?
