I really worded it all wrong ... This is my play LAN (and home network) ...
the reason why, is basically to giggles and laughs - it's all just learning
about what can be done (bridging, transparent firewalls) - and the impacts
of it all.  

Not sure that I would have done this in a "real world" situation ...

Thanks to both Nick and Martin for their advice and help though - I'm going
to return back to lurking.

Regards,
Warren.
