John - this sounds more like setting the box up to be a router - which is
obviously possible. But with a bridge I shouldn't have to set up a new
DHCP server etc - the existing one on the network (ie my commodity router)
should handle all requests, nor, afaics, should I need to worry about
iptables and packet forwarding.
