More of a firewall/routing question now:

Again, a list of interfaces:
eth0: WAN
eth1, eth2, eth3: ethernet LAN
wlan0: wireless LAN

I need to limit packets going between WLAN and the ethernet LAN.

Can I have the whole LAN bridged and use iptables to filter what goes from
wlan0 to ethx (inside the bridge)?

Or can I not use a bridge, and make eth1, eth2, eth3, wlan0 all have the same
IP on the router and then use iptables to control between interfaces?

Thanks.
