Re: [nsp] bridging questions

what i would suggest is to configure your T1s for FR [even if they are
regular leased lines, just turn off keepalives, or configure one side as
a FR DCE interface]. that way you can configure separate p2p
subinterfaces. you can then associate each ethernet with 1 sub-int, and
use a unique bridge group for them. if you add additional T1's,
sub-interface them as well. place them in the appropriate bridge groups,
and enable bridge-circuit groups to load balance between the T1s.
