I'm currently working on a dual bridging-firewall setup using stp for redundancy. This will be implemented in an Belgian ISP.
Basically, we have 2 identically configured transparent firewalls, each with two DLINK quad cards (dc driver). We've setup 2 spanning trees with 4 bridges in total on the firewall side. These bridges have different priorities so that one backs up the other for a certain path and that both firewalls are working at any given time.
From what I've seen, it works as advertised...traffic switches from one bridge to the other under a minute. Once the primary bridge is up, traffic switches back. Great stuff...
Thanks a lot OBSD developers team ; )
