I know you said in the initial set up that you didn't want a firewall
comment however I may have a solution that you are interested in.
The NetScreen firewalls can operate in what is called transparent mode.  It
then is a layer 2 filter that does wire speed packet inspection for layer
3/4 rules.  Way cool stuff.  It doesn't have actual IP addresses on the
actual Ethernet Interfaces, it does have an IP for management of the
Netscreen.  My understanding is it acts like a bridge however it can still
inspect packets and apply rules based on layer 2/4 rules.  That might do
what you are looking for.

Regards,
Ed
