Hello, I have 2 nic cards in my machine and I want to place this machine between my internet connection and my router without it looking like another router between the 2 networks (internet and my network). I want to connect the internet line in the first nic card and the line to my network in the second nic card as if it were a 1 port router in bridge mode that has 1 line with the internet and the second line that goes to my network. Is a setup like this possible with FreeBSD? The reason why I'm asking is because I want to configure this machine with the net.inet.tcp.inflight options and see if it boosts up data transfer speeds without changing my network configuration, just adding this device in front of it. Thanks, - Jake
