It's not a routing problem.  The magic packets get through the bridge to
my server (a PC, not a Mac) just fine.

The problem is the CONTENTS of those packets.  WOL Magic Packets must
*contain* the MAC address of the machine they're trying to wake up (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN#How_it_works).

The SqueezeBox only 'sees' the MAC address of the bridge, and *assumes*
this is the MAC address of the server, so that's the address that goes
into the Magic Packet.  I need to be able to override that assumption. 
(It's a bit like the way NAT hides your IP address, but with MAC
addresses instead.)
