Linux firewall in Bridged mode

Subject: Linux firewall in Bridged mode
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2006 13:05:57 +1100
Hi,
 
I have been trying to find some decent documentation on this to no avail as
yet. Is anyone able to give me the pro/cons of a firewall in bridged mode?
Perhaps situations where it would be more useful, etc?
 
Ideally I am looking to setup a situation where the DMZ will be public IP
addresses and I don't want to implement NATing either. Is running iptables
with a bridged mode NIC able to process rules faster than in "normal routed"
modem configurations with the same types of filtering and so forth?
 
Please let me know if I need to explain further and thanks in advance.
