For what you want to do you will need an IP address for your bridge device and 
an entry in your routing table for all traffic that should go through the 
bridge device.
Suppose you get the DNAT to server3 to work. Then this server3 will respond to 
your eth2 device on the bridge box. Now the routing code of your box needs to 
know where to send this message. So you need to tell the code to send it 
through your bridge device, by means of a routing table entry.
