it isn't. I posted something to the mailing list back when the martian
problem first came up, and I dropped the subject when it seemed that the
director would still see the packets from the realservers as martians,
even if the director was configured as a bridge.
I never put anything in the HOWTO, as bridging seemed an obviously bad
idea to be forgotten about. It has come up twice since. Since
the idea is being reinvented all the time, I decided to put something
in the HOWTO.
