Hi, I am trying to setup a bridging firewall and have some questions. 

In a bridge, it doesn't seem neccasary to configure any IP's for the 2 interfaces. However, I would like to remotely manage my bridging firewall. If so, does the interface attached to the Internet [router] need the same address as the router or just another address from my segment. I think its the later but my bridging fundamentals are hazy :-(

Would doing so allow me to telnet/ssh into the bridging firewall box or do I need another interface to get in and leave the original 2 interfaces unconfigured 

Also, if I have two different leased lines [different blocks], can I use a 4 port NIC like a D-LINK DFE 570 to setup a single machine as a bridging firewall for both networks [using different rulesets]

Thanks, ymg
