I've never done that on FreeBSD (yet) and I do exactly that, with three NICs on OpenBSD 2.8. I'm sure it's just as easily possible with FreeBSD using IPFW... IPF on OpenBSD would change the ruleset completely on the 'bridged' interface/rules file. It's a little tricky at first, but then very easy once you get the concept. And not to forget that the (non-bridged) interface (if you decided to use rules, is to use the normal rule processing and not the contrary for the bridged interfaces). Not trying to push you away from FreeBSD, just trying to help where I can... Best Regards! FreeBSD/OpenBSD - Advocate! > >I have set up a bridging firewall that has 3 interfaces.
