[Server-devel] Replacing dummy0-vs-eth1 with a bridge

[Martin Langhoff]

Now that I am more familiar with the "bridge-to-hold-IP-config" style
we have, I am planning to replace the dummy0 device with a bridge. If
the server number is 1, then we attach eth1 to it.

 - Is there any downside to it?
 - Any pointers as to the advantages/disadvantages/limits of this use
of bridges? Bridges that have a L3 manifestation are somewhat new to
me :-)

cheers,
