Looks like I have to, no other options, I spent hours today trying to get away from it. I actually have it going nicely now, I have the option to use ipfw, I can go with that but I am still searching to find out if ipf works. Regarding the 2 logical networks, No, I dont, I actually have 8 ips, but was trying to get "creative" per a request. Like I said, I have the bridge going and it SEEMS to be fine.....
