I think I would start by reading the Advanced Routing Howto at http://www.tldp.org. Specifically the chapter on bridging/proxyarp. There are some other links within this document that will point you to incorporating iptables into the bridge so you can block/accept ports. Also on a side note -- since your requirements are for a router (bridge) only, consider looking at LEAF (Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall). Specifically the bering project. This is a single floppy version of the linux kernel with iptables. The firewall portion is based on shorewall which supports the proxyarp configurations; which based on my understanding of your post, is what your going to have to implement. You can checkout shorewall at www.shorewall.net Regarding your post, I would think the following chapter of the setup guide is relevant: http://www.shorewall.net/shorewall_setup_guide.htm#ProxyARP Good Luck!
