So i can get 200Mb/s out of 2 interfaces. (Theortically), this would be on
the same Vlan with only one of the interfaces having an ip.

Back to bridging for a moment. Can a bridge be setup in the same way?
(googling mostly says no, bridging is commonly used with firewalls and
not to the same switch)
