Adam,

good to know, someone else will re-check my writings! ;) A couple of
days ago I was writing something totally stupid but nobody complained
(conclusion: I will avoid posting to mailing lists when my uptime is
-gt 24h).

Thanks for your hint. I wasn't quite sure if if-bound works on bridges
as I don't have much bridge experiences.

On a bridge, does it make sense to filter on bridge0 or is it
generally better to filter on it's member interfaces?

Using a quick google search, I found some problems when filtering on
the bridge interface in the past but if I would be in need of setting
up a bridge, it would be the first thing for me to filter on the
bridge interface and not on the member interfaces. What's the big
reason for either?

Thanks

Volker
