Incidentally, would using ebtables rules prevent the bridge from
going into "dumb hub" mode? Like let's say I said that "all traffic
leaving this interface must have this destination MAC address".
No, EBTables will not prevent a bridge from having to go through the
learning process. EBTables might filter out the frame so that it
doesn't (fully) traverse the bridge, but it will not educate the MAC
table.
Remember that the bridge will behave just like any switch would that
multiple servers are plugged in to.
Sorry, I used a bad choice of words - Would ebtables stop the frame
reaching the remote host (VM in my case) is what I meant to say :)
