Interesting. Any particular reason why you do this? Using iptables
netfilter I guess you could probably get the same effect with just a
bridge.

Since the hosts main IP addresses are presumably on subnet A, I don't
see why the bridge couldn't be brought up by the network script -- you
just don't want to do the IP address transfer, so remove the
transfer_addresses and transfer_routes lines.

Cheers,
Ian
