Or if you know the mac address, you can insert a static arp entry in a ho=
st=20
that's connected to the bridge so you can reach that bridge on that=20
ip-address.
Or give the bridge a ip-address in the private range (10.x.x.x or so). A=
nd=20
give a box connected to the bridge an ipaddress in the same rage so you c=
an=20
reach the bridge on that private ip-address.
I'm not sure it's possible, but maybe it will give you some new ideas.
