Am I the only person who sees this as a tad odd? I can't escape thinking
about a real bridge. Seems to me each eth or vif you add to a bridge
should retain its IP and the bridge, basically being a device that does
mac-layer routing, has no IP.
Actually, if you think about it, it makes complete sense. I really can't
imagine a switch where each port has it's own IP address. The switch itself
having an IP address on the other hand is perfectly reasonable, as in the
case of a managed switch.
I guess this is an artifact of how it is implemented?
I think it'd be wierd if it worked any other way, taking the above into account.

Check the linux bridge howto at
http://bridge.sourceforge.net/howto.html
This site also has pointers to other info.
There's really nothing special about the xen-br0 bridge, it's
just a normal linux bridge.
