Ah. So you can't ifconfig the virtual bridge interface (e.g. bnet0) and configure IP protocol information on it, then? If not, I misunderstood how the bridge interface behaves. I was thinking that it acted more or less like a BVI interface does on a Cisco router. Specifying the LOCAL_INTERFACE will work for me, though. Thanks.
