Is anyone bridging a bunch (20+) vlans onto one bridge0?
My goal is to do what the HandBook says I can do:
The customers are completely isolated from each other, the full /24
address range can be allocated without subnetting.

Last time I tried this (8.1) I got a bunch of unicast flooding and it
busted my network. I'd like to see a 'nounicast' flag for bridge members...
Say, I've never looked into it, but do unicast floods go to a broadcast
mac address (eg FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF) that I could block via layer2?
