Routers forward packets between different IP networks. Or in other
words, the IP numbers on the different interfaces on your router
should not just be different -- they should come from completely
different subnets too.
I think that the keyword for you is 'bridging'. There's a whole
article about it here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/filtering-bridges/article.html
plus Google will turn up plenty more.
Cheers,
Matthew
