OT: Need pointers for openvpn bridge setup.



Over the last couple of weeks I have been trying to get openvpn working.

My current system is as follows:
Cable modem
|
eth0   (Public IP)
Debian etch nat firewall (Squid, apache, dhcpd, Bind, Samba,
apt-proxy, ftpd, sshd)
eth1 (192.168.0.1) caprica.lefty.
|
switch
-wireless router (ap)
-printer
-printer
-file server (Lenny) gemini.lefty.
-file server (Lenny) earth.lefty.
-client0-5

What I would like to do is to enable OpenVPN to do ethernet bridging
so that each client coming in over VPN ends up with the same IP they
would have if they attached themselves to the wireless access point
locally.


I have read most of the docs but what I can't figure out is my bridge
interface will be bridged to eth1?
so I bridge my tun0 and eth1 to create br0.
In my existing firewall script do I still retain eth1 or change it to br0?

This is where I'm getting confused. Any pointers appreciated, this is
bending my mind.

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to
ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
apartment it is.
