As I wrote, I tried the brdging code and find it stable and has good
performance but never actually tried to use the firewalling optins.
Having said that the views on the bridge mailing list seems very positive
to me (the archive are online, go have a look) and also if you examine the
source code it looks very "sane" - it simply introduces the bridge as yet
another firewalling point for forwarding, input and output and uses that.

What's the differnce between "Internet" traffic and "LAN" traffic? it's IP
