Hmm, I'm not sure how to do that... my understanding is that with 
BRIDGE_IPF, the filter rules don't specifically reference the bridge, 
but reference the component interfaces of the bridge. It seems like a 
rule that's intended to only block only bridging of IPv4 between the 
two interfaces would block *all* IPv4 between the two interfaces, not 
just bridged traffic.

It's a Soekris net5501 with 4 interfaces, so this seems doable... I 
haven't quite gotten it working though; not sure why. The machines on 
the LAN side are getting public IPv6 addresses, so SLAAC is working. 
However, I can't actually pass any IPv6 traffic... The device is 
sending an ICMP6 neighbor solicitation looking for the AT&T router's 
link local address, and it does like that's being sent out the correct 
interface to the router. However, the router doesn't respond. I can 
successfully ping6 the AT&T router's LL address from the NetBSD box 
though.

I'll mess around with it more... it seems like this setup should work :)
Thanks!
