What you are doing wont work as every machine has to have an individual ip address unless your talking multicast

If you are trying to provide some fault tolerance eg two routers you should look at using carp. This will aloow you to have a floating ip between two or more machines. Only one machine has it at any one time though.

Hello,

I am trying to get two machines on the LAN share the same IP address assigned by DHCP server by using the bridge interface in rc.conf. But I have encountered two problems here.

First, the B machine (the one that gets the same IP address as the main A machine) has no problem accessing the Internet. The A machine, however, seems to have DNS problems as it cannot resolve any addresses.

And the second problem I've faced is that I cannot figure out how to use SSH to connect to the A machine from the B machine if they both share the same IP address. Or is there a better way to have that kind of remote access?

Warm thank you for all the hints.
