symlinks and file visibility on Linux

["theBlueSage" <user=72@nabble.blu.org>]

 Hi folks, 

I would like to know if it is possible to have the following setup. 

in a directory, create two sub-directories, foo, and bar. 
put text files in foo, called text1.txt and text2.txt 
put text files in bar called text3.txt and text4.txt 

create a symlink somehow so that the contents of foo show up in bar, but 
the contents of bar do not show up in foo. 

thus when I do an 'ls' of 'foo' I see : 
text1.txt 
text2.txt 

but when I do an 'ls' of 'bar' I see : 
text1.txt 
text2.txt 
text3.txt 
text4.txt 

I'm sure its possible, but I cant figure out how. Maybe I need more 
caffeine ? 

thanks 

Richard
