Why bridging? You can NAT/Masquerade from the "private" interface (say
eth1) to the "public" interface (say eth0). To do this, all you need is
to bring the two interfaces up with valid IPs (the eth1 will be a non
routable one (i.e. 192.168.0/24)) and connect your machines like that:
Internet---><---(eth0)--->Machine_provider<---(eth1)--->Machine_on_private_lan
and then edit the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file and enter a line like this:
-A POSTROUTING -s IP_of_Machine_on_private_lan -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
restart IPTABLES and you should be done
(IPTABLES -t nat -L should confirm your NAT/MASQUERADE)
I hope this helps.

Hi,
I had a method way back I think it was in RHEL 4, on how to bridge two
interfaces together.
Basically what I want to do would be described as windows internet
connection sharing ICS (sorry for the windows example)
I basically want to take 1 machine with two NIC's and connect a 2nd to it
and have access to the network either on private subnet or with a public IP,
which ever is easiest.
