I am also all ears, The transparent proxy without an IP address was my first attempt - but then I succumbed to the pressures of a due date and just eventually assigned an IP address to the bridged interfaces. I suspect that it will have to be done with ip route 2 package - but even the one-way NAT does not make your machine transparent as you need to reply to ARP requests to allow the returning packet to find your machine/application.... PS, could this list please add a reply-to field to just allow me to reply to the list and not to the poster.... (so sorry Benny Amorsen for the other email).
