Hey Crist :) Didn't want to e-mail you right out :) This is actually for a different project (not the lab), so that is why I had to ask. Reading the man pages for bridging, I see I need to set net.link.ether.bridge and net.link.ether.bridge_ipfw to 1, correct? So I just put these into my rc.conf and compile a new kernel with "options BRIDGE" and all is well?
