No, we know, what a bridge can't do. We have an idea, we implement an feature for an "virtual bridge" like the scenario, how I wrote in the last mail.
One of this ideas was, we do an mac-routing, when it is possible.

we understand, how ip works :) We are also know, what the OSI is and we are also understand the layers.
See, when we can create an feature like more as one br-interface - not physical, but virtuell like aliases for an ip-interface, then we can implement OpenBSD in different router systems. The idea was, we can create virtual bridge-interfaces and can use this interfaces for different networks and the policies in this. after the bridge is an router, he can translate in the "real" connection.

now was the question to the tech-list here: can anybody understand this idea and is this with hacks or tricks usefull or an complete stupid idea?

we have an box with 5 real interfaces, 2x2 as bridge and one as management-interface. now we will create 3 more interfaces on this box for more bridging.

thanks
