Yes it is, by using CIPE and the normal ethernet bridge you can do exactly this. CIPE is an encrypted tunnel that creates a virtual ethernet interface that can be used for bridging. http://sites.inka.de/bigred/devel/cipe.html "it is even possible to run an Ethernet bridge over CIPE" It says it only works with the bridge in kernel 2.4 or using a patched 2.2 Hope it helps. /Martin Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
