So that firewall rules can be applied between those two transparent nics? Don't want NAT, don't want routing. Just firewall "allow", "drop", or re-direct. I purchased a device which uses debian to do this. I would like to see if I can duplicate the functions on FreeBSD, my OS of choice. Thanks. -- Jim Pazarena fquest@paz.bz
