This is absolutely correct, except that I'm using separate switches (vSwitch1, 
vSwitch2) for LAN/eth0 and OPT1/eth1.

I'm not sure what you mean by "NAT+Filter" – there isn't any NAT related stuff 
configured at all.

Yes.

It's just routed to 4.3.2.17. To be more specific WAN is 4.3.2.17/27 with it's 
gateway being 4.3.2.1/27. This gateway is tho only one in "System: Gateways" 
and shown as "WAN (default)". No routes are shown in "System: Static Routes".


Thanks for your efforts – to all of you!
