Greetings;
I'm trying to setup a completely transparent brouting firewall/bridge.
Since I'm proxying a protocol with a userspace server, I've had to setup
a BRouting firewall/bridge. Much akin to a brouted squid proxy setup.
My problem is that the Machine currently exposes it's MAC address as the
SRC MAC for any communication that flows through the userspace proxy service.

Is there a way to setup the system up such that all traffic to/from
the machine has no MAC addresses associated with the machine?
ie The bridges MACs remain hidden ?
Any insight or suggestions appreciated;
Kane
