Re: Bridge question

Aaaaaaaaah...  Thanks Jeremy!

I think ebtables is exactly what the doctor ordered.

I'll try my bridge+iptables kludge - explained in another post - as well and 
see which one we get to work properly first - we are running short on time 
with this project.

Cheers,

Herman

   Herman,

   in addition to the bridge.sourceforge.net pages, have a look at
   ebtables.sourceforge.net.  the howto documentation you'll find at, say,
   tldp.org is a little out of date, but at ebtables, you may find more
   helpful info.  i've been using the bridging code & netfilter-bridge
   kernel patch with 2.4.x for a while now, along with ebtables (analagous
   to iptables, but filters at layer 2), and it's doing wonders for me.

   good luck,

   Jeremy
