So, in effect, you're changing the behaviour of your (level 3) port to a
level 2 port, i.e., a switch, and add some filtering features to it, or am I
missing something?

In that case, you might get away by configuring the two pairs of ports as
ethernet bridge ports, and only assign IP-addresses to the two outer
interfaces as in the diagram above.

Not sure whether all shaping and firewalling tricks will work in that case
though. Anyone got a comment on that?
