You can bridge xl0 and xl1. Then you'll use one address e.g. 70.164.48.225/28
on you xl0 and that will be reachable from your lan too. xl1 doesn't have to
have an IP address. Check man if_bridge.
But is this the topology? in many cases there is a PPP interface
which connects you to the world, a WAN interface. And there is a
network routed through this. Something like this:
W A N L
A N
(a.b.c.d/32) <-> (a.b.c.e/32 router d.e.f.a/28) <-> (d.e.f.b/28 other boxes)
Hope this help, Nikos
