From what I understand, the GATEWAY > kernel option will only copy the traffic across interfaces if it needs to We have a box running as a bridge/filter between our the network our router is on (our feed also serves another company, which has its own bridge) and our internal LAN. Thus: LAN <--- ether ---> {ed1 - FreeBSD - ed0} <--- ether ---> hub/router Just have the outside world set the BSD box (ed0) as the route inward for the internal LAN, and have LAN set the BSD box (ed1) as its default gateway.
