Will that work if I have two networks?

autobridge_interfaces="bridge0" autobridge_bridge0="tap* bge0"
autobridge_interfaces="bridge1" autobridge_bridge1="tap* bge1"

Seems like it would get confused about which tap to assign to which bridge.

Again, they aren't all assigned to one bridge.  Probably the even taps would 
go to one and the odd taps to the other but that's not guaranteed.

In my case I want to make the default route the same as the host's.

See above.
