I have a FreeBSD box with three Nic's; what I would like to do is mimic the 
functionality of a "mirror-port" commonly found on switches.
On a routing firewall I would like traffic from say sk0 destined to sk1 and 
vice versa to be mirrored on xl0 for purposes of network management.
I am pretty sure this can be done, but what is the easiest/best way do 
implement?  How would this be done for a bridging firewall?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thankd,
Ted
