Subject: RE: Very confused about broute DROP

If I'm reading the ebtables ARP stuff right, it looks like I can use
this for selective proxy ARPs.  This may have made my life much nicer
with a project that didn't work out very well 5 years ago when I
inherited a network with systems that had public IP Addresses on both
sides of the firewall. For now, why did 

ebtables -t broute -A BROUTING -j DROP

shut my system down and force me to drive over there at 4AM this morning
to undo it?  It's not supposed to really drop, it's supposed to route
it.  And those examples aren't making any sense to me.  

Thanks

- Greg
