Concerning the snort-inline.conf file, are the "var" statements relevant?
Should I specify the network and subnet that the snort-inline box runs on?
If I have something like this: <GATEWAY-ROUTER> connected to <FIREWALL>
connected to <SNORT_INLINE> connected to <NETWORK HUB OR SWITCH>. Would I
set the "var HOME_NET any" to "var HOME_NET nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/xx?
Do I need to make a startup script for IPTABLE rules or do I rely on
drop.rules or both? I'm inclined to think that the firewall rules will be
essentially duplicated with IPTABLES and the drop.rules interactively
supplement the IPTABLES.
Thank you for the continued education and assistance. :)

because, you are not pulling traffic off of the bridge. You are
pulling traffic out of iptables, via the QUEUE target. As far as the
rules go, you need to convert alert to drop/sdrop/reject.
