That is, customer A *wants* to see all the Netbios broadcasts from customers B, C and D, and vice versa? Oh well. I can't help you really, except perhaps to point you to the Netgraph module API :-) > Alcatels soloution to this is to put an ARP-proxy in a Cisco-router.

However that's a long way removed from a bridge which rewrites packets - a sort of layer 2 NAT... Regards, Brian.
