RE: iptables on a bridge interface

["George Vieira" <georgev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you want a bridge then bridge it, if you want NAT then NAT it.... but you want BOTH??

 

Bridge is like fusing 2 network cards together as if the firewall didn't exist.. but at some stage you want it to exist so why put a bridge?

Thanks,

Subject: iptables on a bridge interface

how is the working of iptables (specially DNATing) different on a bridge interface than on a router interface?
