I once had done a bit similar setup for our company. Due some quick &
dirty solutions in our network nodes the VoIP and networked machines
used same switches but were in two separate network segments with one
gateway for each in the end of the mother company.

As routing two different IP address ranges via same firewall proved to
be impossible due gateway issues, FreeBSD bridging firewall came to the
rescue (with added bonus of getting "invisible" packet filter in the
route).

There is IIRC quite good documentation on the FreeBSD site concerning
setting up bridging firewall, so you could check that and use those
instructions. To be honest I can't remember the VoIP stuff and the FW
setup I made anymore, but some poking around in web should be able to
recover those details.
