This is incorrect.. bridging is happy with eth0 and eth0:1 interfaces..
my understanding is that it creating the eth0:1 inteface does just that --
creates a (virtual) device just the same as a real device, and loads a new
TCP stack.. for all intensive purposes, it's a stand-alone device..

My undestanding may be off the mark, but the first line, anyways, holds..
