I have a question on bridging. I have several xen 3.4.2 servers on
SLES11. The networking has changed from what I was running on xen 3.2.x
on SLES10SP2. On 3.4.2 it now has a bridge, in my case br0, and then you
assign the NICs to the bridge. 

If you have two NICs in a server, is it safe to assign both NICs to the
bridge and attach both NICs to the same network?

I did this today, thinking I had done it on my other servers, and it
took down our whole network pretty hard. What is the proper way to
handle dual NICs with bridges?

Any feedback is appreciated. 

Thanks,
James
