Can't you replace the bridge-name parameter with the hostname or IP
address of the domain? (I haven't tried this). Adding a means of passing
extra parameters shouldn't be too hard anyhow.

Do you use DHCP to assign (static) addresses in your configuration, or
configure the address on the domain's command line? 

Assignment of dynamic DHCP addresses is always going to be messy, but
fortunately its not a very useful thing to support.
