You will need to look at ebtables. Bridging will bypass iptables. Ebtables
is much like iptables, but there are some subtle differences that may choke
you up. Haven't worked much with it though.
You can configure the kernel to apply IPTables Net Filters (Layer 3) to
EBTables bridged (Layer 2) traffic.
To quote the (2.6.8.1) kernel source:
"""
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER - Enabling this option will let arptables resp.
iptables see bridged ARP resp. IP traffic. If you want a bridging
firewall, you probably want this option enabled.
Enabling or disabling this option doesn't enable or disable ebtables.
