The fact is, you do not know in advance which is the right one.


the idea is that you dont need to worry about knowing what is the right interface .... bridging code will take care of sending it to the right interface. There's absoltely no 'routing' involved here !!!

the only thing you need to be aware is that on this situation you cannot have the same ip address on different physical segments. Dont forget altough they are on different physical network segments, the bridge interface will make them appears as being on the same physical one. So, you cant have the same ip address on two physical segments, because with bridging, there wont have different segments !!! You'll have a single physical and logical network segment.

if you dont have confliting ip addresses (which you absolutely cant have), there's no need to worry about routing, about 'going on the right interface' .... bridge interface will take care of everything !
