Redirection with a bridge ?

I'm using a bridging setup (specifically to grab all web traffic and
divert it all to a proxy/policy manager), I had to perform a kernel
patch in order to use fwd on bridged packets.  Try here:

The briding code in OpenBSD is quite good and ipf will let you use a
similar approach out of the box and is a bit more convenient than
patching.

Hope this is helpfull.
