you should be able to use N ng_eiface interfaces and then connect them together with teh bridging code somehow, so that all teh packets come and go on a single physical interface. the ng_eiface node is not in -stable but it's a pretty simple edit to make it work there, as it was originally written there. (I have not actually looked at trying this but just get the feeling that it should work.) julian On Sat, 5 Jan 2002, Naga R Narayanaswamy wrote: > "Crist J.
