    A client has asked me to build a transparent Web cache that acts as
    a bridge, not a router. I've never tried using FreeBSD as a bridge.
    How would I set this up? Would the firewall rule that forwards
    Web requests to the cache process be the same as on a system which
    is operating as a router?
