I'm  interested in configuring Filtering Bridges (as=
 described in the Alex
Dupre howto) using 4.9-RELEASE.

I'd like to kn=
ow:

 - Filtering bridges is supported with ipfilter?
 - ipfilter is m=
ore portable, but what are its limits with bridges?
 - What about adv/di=
sav of ipfilter vs ipfw?

thanks in advance
Roberto
