    I'm not sure, what there is to be gained by this.
    By definition, the two networks are separate anyway - there is no way a
    packet can cross them, except perhaps by an error of the IDS-software itself.
    But such an error will likely also help cross the protocol-border you just
    set up.

    IMHO, it would just add complexity, contradicting "Defense by Simplicity"
    :-)

    cheers,
