Hi All,

I'm looking to build a bridge / firewall using linux and IPTABLES. any one 
out there had any success doing this? how did you do it? any pitfalls I 
should watch for?


You could do it using proxy-arp as documented at this page:
http://www.sjdjweis.com/linux/proxyarp/

I've done it this way with ipchains at $PRIOR_JOB, but I shy away from
it since real routing should be faster than proxy-arp, at least with a
real router.
