Actually, it depends on the firewall configuration mode... if it's in
transparent mode, you're s.o.l, as the max number of interfaces == 3
(including the management interface). If it's in routed mode, you stand
a better chance, and can enable communication between the interfaces.
The logging buffer will reveal all though.
