Thanks Jim for your quick response.

I don't use bridges for my planned setup, does that mean that I won't 
need rules for sure?

The only thing I'm concerned about is that my DHCP server is in a 
network with dhcp clients.  With my current setup, it was a bit 
problematic because the broadcasts were sent twice: once from the client 
and once from the relay (firewall).  But in pfSense, I just disabled the 
relay on this interface and I should be fine (my other firewall could 
not enable the relay in a per-interface basis.

Thanks,

Ugo
