Yeah. Unfortunately networking on the server fell apart when I did that.
Traffic was still passed and I could get through to the server on the
100Mb/s side, but not on the 1000Mb/s. It looked like the arp tables
weren't being forwarded properly, but I couldn't convince FreeBSD to do
proxy arp.
After doing some more poking around, it actually looks like it might be
a misfeature in the Linux 2.4 kernel wrt ipfilter (which is running on
the bridge). Apparently 2.4 fragments UDP packets in the reverse order
that every other UNIX-like operating system does, which throws off
ipfilter's state tables. I'm going to do some testing to see if the
difference between UDP and TCP NFS is negligible enough for us to disregard.
Thanks for the suggestions!
