Running ipfw, definitely not (unless for traffic directed to the local host or routing layer) since it is working at a lower level. After all a brige emulates a piece of wire and you don't expect a piece of wire to act as a firewall. (Although most bridges do some of that). cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
