Re: Linux firewall in Bridged mode

["Rick Zhong" <sagiko () gmail com>]

hi,
I have implemented a transparent bridging firewall using redhat 9.0
last year. I have written down the detailed setup steps and you can
refer to it at this url:

BTW, just my 2c, This setup is kind of very efficient and my ibm
server is an overkill and under-utilised.
