If you by chance user IRC, on the undernet networks if you go to #openbsd,
#openbsdhelp, #freebsdhelp I'm usually there and lots of people are there
that would be able to help with any questions you may have.

In the meanwhile, it's kinda've a catch 22 between OpenBSD 3.0 and OpenBSD
3.1-beta (snapshot) - 3.1 is due soon.
3.1 has lots of fixes and new goodies while 3.0 you can run as is, or you
might want to apply some fixes applicable to your setup. 3.1 is kinda've
beta, but even as is I'd probly sill recommend it. Once 3.1 is officially
out, you can always cvs to 3.1-stable from -beta.

Good places to start:

www.openbsd.org/faq/ (FAQ - a given)
www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PF (OpenBSD's FAQ on PF)
http://www.inebriated.demon.nl/pf-howto/ (The official PF how-to - talks
about bridging too)
&
http://www.daemonnews.org/200103/ipf_bridge.html (another article on
transparent bridging, more for IPF but still good)
There's more, I can't recall them off hand though. Also one good article in
the latest daemonnews magazine. www.daemonnews.org
(http://magazine.daemonnews.org/) Vol. 1, issue 6.

Hope this helps...

If anything else, just lemme know. It's really worth atleast giving a try.
Once you understand it, you'll begin to see the real potential that's
possible.

Regards!
