*sigh* - This was what I tried to do, but it didn't work. Obviously my kernel 
is too old.

I'm on Amazon EC2, which is stuck on 2.6.21 right now (at least in Europe, 
which is where I'm trying to host my application). 

I tried listening on dummy0 instead, but it turns out a dummy interface is not 
a real interface and my packets go nowhere. 

veth might be perfect for what I'm trying to do (it makes a bit more sense than 
an IP address assigned to the bridge) but again my kernel is too old.

None of these issues are a problem for this list, however.

Thanks for the help,
Simon
