I don't think you need bridging for this application. The system will allow VNICs to communicate with each other by default, and you can configure IP filter in each zone (assuming you're using exclusive stack zones). In short, bridges allow layer 2 forwarding between multiple physical ports; they have very little to do with communication among zones. At a guess, what you might really be after is a way to place filters for an exclusive stack zone outside of that zone's control. I don't think there's a way to do that yet, though it's certainly a reasonable thing to have, and the L2 Filtering project may be able to provide it in the future. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
