Hello all, I have looked for a solution to this for awhile, but havn't been able to find it (probably a glaringly obvious). I have the following setup: Internet 137.242.188.2 137.242.189.1 --------><--------------Firewall------------->LAN (137.242.189.0) I use bridging to link the two together and IPFW for a firewall. My problem is that all traffic that comes from the internet is broadcast to my entire subnet! Visually I see this on all my switches as the entire thing lights up. I know that bridging is supposed to do broadcasting like this, but is there a better solution. I had ran routed at one point, but the majority of the experts I know say that I should have been doing bridging, so I switched. Any help is much appriciated! Please CC me any answers as I am not on tha mailing list any more.
