Brian, I assume by "transparent" you mean without normal IP routing and without consumption of (two) IP addresse(s).
This part I do know a little about. Proxy-ARP has been used with success by some users who run LRP ( http://www.linuxrouter.org/ ) ... and there is also a driver that allows the firewall interfaces to work in bridging mode.... so there are two solutions I know of. As an aside, a lot of research I have done says that OpenBSD is a nearly perfect platform for transparent... lots of people have been using it this way for years when it seems that Linux is just getting into the game.
