3 NICs - 1 upstream, 2 downstream to same subnet??

[Nickolay A. Kritsky]

Hello rip,

Are you sure that you want only one subnet? In your case two different
subnets on two interfaces IMHO look much better. If you are sure about
one-subnet setup than you should try to set up a bridge(4) between
them two NICs. Bridge in FreeBSD is supporting ipfw filtering, so
you can still complete your security goals.
