  I'm way late to the conversation but I'd advocate for a
  layer-3 capable bridge(4) interface, even if its a tap(4)-like
  interface as suggested.

  This can create confusion with subsystems like pf/ipf,
  tcpdump.  Cisco makes this really easy with BVI and VLAN
  interfaces (depending on if its a layer2, layer3, or hybrid
  IOS image)
