Bridging wont do it. Bridging is a layer 2 protocol. At a
minimum, it would involve a protocol translation.

Cheers Phillip,

its definitly a weird one.

what say if its possible to create transperent bridge using both adsl
connections in the cisco 1721 , thus create a Bridged DMZ

then on the edge of the bridged DMZ have linuxbox doing the
NAT/firewalling,

eg.

 localnetworks --- linix/nat/firewall --- DMZ --- csico 1721 ----
     -------------- ISPgateway
 

               ----- jetstream

assuming both links can use the same gateway for the linux router as
cisco
would be transperent. But can cisco 827 be transperent Bridge and still
be
configured for "on demand" circuit ???

interestig stuff, I wonder if the frim in questions' isp has a solution
for
this.

regards,

Julian
