Yes, but the headaches involved with doing a redundant bridging scenario are not worth the effort. If it works at all, it requires special handling on the switches (having to change STP port costs and priorities) and/or having special scripts on each box to enable or disable the bridge for failover actions. But if you want to try it, go ahead, just remember you were warned. :-) I ran a bridged CARP setup for 2+ years and I would never do it again. I have zero regrets about converting it to a routed setup.
