I gather from looking at ng_tee that I will need a FreeBSD build host to make 
the ng_tee module on, then copy it to my monowall and load it with the 
correct parameters. I'd like to do this but I don't have FreeBSD and have no 
knowledge on it, I might just plump for the hub option. Sadly, I gave away my 
last hub a few weeks ago thinking "Ah, I'll never need this piece of crap!". 
Oh well.

Thanks for your replies,

Jon
