I used to do what you describe by bridging WAN to OPT1 and turning on the
filtering bridge option.  Each server had its own separate hardware NAT/firewall
and used one of the subnet IP addresses so if necessary it could be connected to
bypass monowall or pfsense without making any configuration changes.  Each
filtering bridge rule could either apply to the whole server subnet or to the
servers individually although they could not block server to server traffic.

Apparently you can do the same thing without bridging by using ARP when you have
one IP address for pfsense and a separate subnet routed to you but my ISP
connection was not setup that way.
