Ah, I suspected this might be an issue with my haphazard collection

I am trying to avoid the 1:1 NAT scenario, so bridging seems like my  
best option. I went through the docs and found a nice example setup,  
but it refers to an "OPT" interface that I don't see available in the  
admin. Is there something I need to do to make this appear under  
"Interfaces"?

Thanks again for your help.
