Yes.  Take a look in the mailing list archive for my post "A word about 
bridging to the wise..." 
(http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2006-December/067540.html). 
  It depends if you have your kernel configured to allow IPTables, which 
operates on OSI Layer 3 to be able to see OSI Layer 2 traffic, which is 
where bridging takes place.
