FreeBSD obviously doesn't do this.
To me, it seems that FreeBSD does just that too once bridge is enabled. Olivier _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
