Hello Stephan,
> Bridging doesn't like loops, and you have created a loop.
I agree. It was actually a Microsoft Load Balancing cluster that created
the loop. Michael told me that the physical switch works because it:
a) broadcasts
b) sends it to both ports.

Michael said that ebtables only after the bridge has seen the packets
and so is not applicable. Is that true? So should I use arptables. I
tried to block the looped packages by:
- iptables
- arptables
- eptables
But somehow I never made it. Do you have an example for me or can tell
me which of the 3 tools should work, so that I can try again. The NATing
fought the symptoms of my problem.
Cheers,
Thomas
