OK...got it set up as follows:
br0       Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:60:F5:04:15:F9
          inet addr:216.27.168.203  Bcast:216.27.168.255  Mask:255.255.255.224
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:60:F5:04:15:F8
          inet addr:216.27.168.210  Bcast:216.27.168.255  Mask:255.255.255.224
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:312 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:160 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:29312 (28.6 Kb)  TX bytes:22326 (21.8 Kb)
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd000

br0 is eth1, eth2, and eth3.  I plugged eth1 into my the net, and I can 
ping/ssh it fine.  I plug eth2 into a workstation via a crossover cable, and 
I can't ping to or from it.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

- Casey
