Bridging is brain-meltingly simple on Debian-based systems. Quick example of
/etc/network/interfaces with a single bridge set up:
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.10.200
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.10.1
bridge_ports eth0 eth1 eth2
^ Only *ONE* extra line to say "sudo make me a bridge", xkcd-style ;-)
(There are additional parameters you can add if you want to, but they're all
optional.)
