I was wondering if anyone has made an efforts towards this yet.
(i.e. Wanna make sure I don't make a hack that's already made.)
Thanks.

in fact as many already said the most obvious solution seems to use
routing, not bridging.

just because i am called... bridging in freebsd only works on
ethernet-type networks. Someone already asked me that i also
add support for 'tun' interfaces so that solutions like the one above
are possible. Shouldn't be that hard to implement, just isn't there
right now.
