But the machine is at my house, NAT'd from the world. So to network the machine, I'd have to "bridge" across something like a VLAN over an IPSEC tunnel. Is this right? Can it be done that way? Is the IPSEC tunnel even necessary (if I don't care about security)? Finally, can FreeBSD bridge a subnet attached to a public interface on the big bad old internet to the other side of the world? -- Kris Kirby, KE4AHR | TGIFreeBSD...
