OK, I agree, it doesn't make sense, but I want to be transparent using  
bridging. I can't explain my idea :).

You mean I need to have four physical interfaces ?
I can't understand how too accomplish this.
Currently, I am doing :
brctl addif eth1
brctl addif eth2

> And then cable eth0/eth1 to one device and eth2/eth3 to the other.
How ?


Thanks !
