Well, the old bridge thing didn't "work fine in every distro".  It was
fragile and unreliable and if it went wrong it caused complete dom0
networking failures (which can be very awkward in a colo).

I don't know what distro you're using.  Perhaps on Redhat derivatives
setting up your network to go through a bridge is "obscure init
commands and/or brctls" but on Debian derivatives it really is
trivial.
