    You can't have two interfaces within the same IP subnet, with the same
    mask, on one box. What you can do is configure the primary interface
    with the /24 mask, and then configure the other interface with a /32
    mask. This is the same process that you would use to put two (or more)
    addresses from the same IP subnet on a single interface.

    Regarding the other stuff, if a particular service is configured to
    listen on any interface (noted by the "*.*" under "Local Address" in a
    netstat listing), then it should be available via either interface of
    the bridge, assuming that the bridge is configured correctly (sysctl's
    and such).

    What are your /etc/rc.conf settings with regards to the bridge
    configuration?
