Note: I am not a bridge guru but I'm interested in understanding thisnew functionality better. What is the larger benefit of this feature?Does this make it possible to configure a bridge setup on a remotesystem without losing connectivity? I can't do many kinds of networkchanges remotely without risking losing connectivity (ie. changing IPaddress, messing with routing, etc. -- it would be likely that you'dlose network connectivity :) ) Therefore, I don't know if this is abenefit unless it is needed for a particular application. Is thisuseful for OpenVZ in some way?
