Using ifrename to name your interfaces according to the function they have is very much recommended. That way you never have to remember which interface is the one you want to access. I use names like bridgeext for eth0 and bridgeint for eth1. Another recommendation for bridging is to use a separate interface for administration and to assign no IP to br0/bridgeext/bridgeint. That way the machine will still be accessible even if STP and friends go crazy on the bridged nics.
