I'd like to have the OSD act as bridge between two different subnets,
possible? How?

Can I assign the Ethernet port in the OSD two addresses from different
subnets like 10.x.x.x and 192.168.x.y ?

The idea is to have a Wifi hotspot on a different subnet, so even it
somoene hacks into it he can't get anywhere, UNLESS he finds the OSD
running a proxy (I'd have to compile and configure a small http proxy,
but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it).

Well i can't tell you how it's done officially but i would try adding
ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.x.y 255.255.255.0 to a startup script.

Assuming that the ethernet device with the 10.x.x.x address is eth0

Greetings
