In my case, I want to maintain two distinct clusters on my bridge --
one cluster with publicly accessible IP addresses (part of the Internet
at large), and another cluster with private IP addresses (for a local
network that is allowed to access the Internet only through proxies).
If I implement Julian's mod in my bridge, am I going to run into
problems with misdirected ARP packets? Or should I be safe because
my two clusters are dealing with completely separate groups of IP
addresses (one external, the other internal)?
