Hi to all, I have a machine acting as a stealth firewall with three interfaces. Only interfaces eth0 and eth1 are enslaved to the bridge device br0, and none of them are given IP addresses. eth2 connects to a different network and has an IP address assigned to it. Traffic travels from eth0 to eth1 and vice-versa. I wanted to know how can I make computers found on the eth0 and eth1 sides of the bridge, not see the eth2 IP address. The problem is that I sometimes see ARP requests with the eth2's IP address as src IP address. When I disable the eth2 interface, I get ARP requests with src IP address 0.0.0.0, which is fine. But when eth2 is up, I see its IP address. How can I hide it? Any help will be much appreciated..
