some years ago an italian wrote a tool called HEAT, if i'm not wrong. 
but I cannot find it a the moment...

maybe it has simply disappeared since ebtables already offers what you need:

(from http://ebtables.sourceforge.net/documentation.html)
<<MAC NAT: ability to alter the MAC Ethernet source and destination 
address. This can be useful in some very strange setups (a real-life 
example is available).>>

btw, I think that having a linux box, you'd better use it as a layer 3 
router, rather than a layer 2 bridge... you can do much more in that 
case and... don't forget it, you will appear with more ip addresses than 
you should.
