If a managed office already has network infrastructure then the FireBrick can work in a proxy-arp mode, and physically sit on your network between your router and your LAN.

==Proxy-arp Mode==
If you want the Firebrick to be 'invisible' on your LAN, ie, you have machines on the LAN which use the gateway IP of your router, and you do not want to use the FireBrick as the router, then setting proxy-arp on the subnets is required. - this will then proxy arps between the FireBricks LAN and WAN, both ways. -Note broadcast traffic is not passed through the FireBrick - so the router won't be able to do DHCP - the FireBrick can, or another host on the LAN can instead.
