RE: IPTABLES and BRIDGE firewall

["Michael Walter" <walterm () Gliatech com>]

This also came up as a topic on the netfilter mailing list recently.  I
didn't follow the topic and can't comment on the quality of the
information, but it is in the archives at:
http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/netfilter

Thanks,

You could do it using proxy-arp as documented at this page:

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.
