Downstream router

[jonnytabpni]

Hi everyone,

My co-lo ISP will give me a block of static IPs. I wish to assign the public IPs directly to the hosts, but use pfsense to transparently filter the traffic. I think I know how to do this (I think I'd have to bridge WAN with LAN?)

But what I also wish to do, is to place another router between pfsense and the hosts, which will do some accouting as per this article:

Is this possible at all?

Thanks

Maybe the key is to make the "accounting router" a "filtering bridge"??
