    Hello rip,

    Are you sure that you want only one subnet? In your case two different
    subnets on two interfaces IMHO look much better. If you are sure about
    one-subnet setup than you should try to set up a bridge(4) between
    them two NICs. Bridge in FreeBSD is supporting ipfw filtering, so
    you can still complete your security goals.
