I'll be testing this on Monday, so I will try through the various permutations until I find a method that succeeds. I'll post my results back here.

I just wanted to say that the fall-back bridging is on the wrong track and it seems that only "non-routable" traffic will be bridged with fall-back and not all traffic (i.e. IP). Maybe someone else has some more experience here.

Though I haven't tested it I believe your configuration with the addition of "bridge 2 protocol ieee" should work.
