m0n0wall has been able to do filtered bridging for quite awhile (since
before 1.0).  You need to enable filtered bridging on the Advanced
page.  Search the mailing list archives for more info...there are some
limitations to this feature and you should be aware of them before
trying to set things up.

Don't know about this...I haven't tried it.  I *believe* that FreeBSD's
bridging works between VLANs, at least the bridge(4) manpage strongly
implies it.
