I was hoping to put the bridge in the box, but what you suggested is

Anybody have experience with a PCI-based dual-interface NIC that does
hardware bridging? This would be for a traffic monitoring application,

The only host-based thing I've seen for something like that are the Endace
DAG cards. They tout 100% packet capture since they take all the processing
