Thanks, in such case I do think actually adding a bridge, adding the
backend interface to it, and then adding a route to the front end IP
would suffice to cover that case, but I'm pretty limited with test
devices so would appreciate if someone with a setup like that can test
it as an alternative. Please recall that the possible gains here
should be pretty significant in terms of simplification. And of
course, I still also haven't had time / systems to test the NAT
case...
