Which reminds me, I might be missing something here, but what was the 
reasoning behind having one bridge per interface, and not just adding 
all the msh + eth1 devices to a single bridge, and use 172.18.0.1/20 as 
the ip address of the bridge? Then it wouldn't matter if eth1 is present 
or not, this main address would be bound to the bridge, and present as 
long as the bridge is active, even with no available devices for the 
bridge present. No dummies files required. ;-) If service restriction is 
need, then just use iptables to block the unwanted traffic.

Cleaner layout, no?

Food for thought,
