Having now read the manpage for bridge(4) and if_bridge(4), I am not certain that this is going to achieve what I want to achieve. I'm told by the FreeBSD HB that "The consensus is that assigning both cards an address is a bad idea." Since I want rl1 to have a public IP block and rl0 to have a private IP, I assume this isn't going to work. So, router it is. Now, for this VPN. I reckon my best bet is to run the PPTP client from the BSD box, no? Regards, Nick
