I'll assume you've seen http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Bridge

Can you expand on "does not work"?  Do you mean host1-4 can't ping each other?  
Or they can't ping the IP on the net5501 bridge interface?   Or they can't 
reach the Internet through the net5501 (assuming that is the ultimate goal)?

If hosts1-4 can't ping each other, do you still have /etc/hostname.vr0-3 with 
the "up"?  Can you post the output of "ifconfig -a"?  Any network related log 
entries from a reboot?
