Stephen,
Since your trick is using 2 (even 4) priority bits, do you think it could cause some cmpatibility issue with other STP implementation which still uses these bits? (it seems to me that port priority is local significant. maybe we can use all 8 bits for port ID, can't we?)
If we take other approaches, like create more than one bridges on one Linux box, I am not sure if it is feasible, since I saw all bridges created on the box have the same bridge ID.
Thanks!

So, could you add a bridge group of bridge groups?
