Isn't there *any* HOWTO on doing this? Invisible firewalling like this seems, on the face of it, a neat and simple drop in to an existing network, but the routing is a nightmare.

Bridging is one way, but requires a third adaptor to do remote management.

Lennert's bridging code allows for the bridge itself to be assigned an ip. So a two NIC bridge can bridge, firewall and be remote managed. It does the job for us and is reasonably simple to understand and use.
