It means you should create pipe rules which match the traffic you want to 
count, rather than using the "bridged" keyword (which would match none of your 
traffic).

Something like "in via fxp0" and "out via fxp0" might be right, assuming for 
the sake of example that you had an Intel "Fast EEPro" card which was the 
interface on the subnet whose traffic you want to count.

This kind of thing tends to be fairly idiosyncratic, and you'll probably have 
to modify or write something for your specific case...perhaps others have more 
useful sample scripts to contribute.
