Ok, your basic problem is that bridging occurs at Layer 2 using MAC
addresses and frames (NOT PACKETS). You either need to use a router, or a
Layer 3 switch. Your bridge can't even see the IP addresses of your
packets because it operates at the wrong layer. In case you didn't know,
a switch is basically just a multi-port bridge (mostly). Your question
seems a little confused hope this was what you were looking for.
