Do you really need bridging and dummynet? For a router with NAT, you
usually don't.

The NATd should actually run on the outer interface. Have you set up
your firewall rules right? Look into /etc/rc.firewall; start with the
"simple" setup and adapt it to your needs. Either do it the hard way
like I did (guess what you need, set up the rules, and learn from your
mistakes) or read the firewall book from O'Reilly ("Build Internet
Firewalls" or the like); it is said yo be quite helpful.

Greetings, Juergen.
