I'm actually going off the whole idea of bridging rather than routeing

I am with you. I don't think the bridge thing has worked out. I thought it was just me, but then I watched this list and realized it's a lot of people having trouble with it.


Yes, I think we should try routing instead. Should be easy to concoct
some replacement scripts?

What about performance comparsion? What is faster, ipv4 routing or L2 bridging? (-> you'll have to recompile & restart domain0 for adding support of more protocols ;-))

You'll have to configure your routers to route traffic for unprivileged host via domain0 IP address, right? It's more difficult for newbies than setting up bridging properly, IMHO.
