Sigh. No matter how many times I re-read before sending, it doesn't matter. Let me expand on this:

Actually, of course, br0 is a bridge device that lets me connect tap0 to my
physical interface. I have this in /etc/network/interfaces:
# The bridge interface
auto br0
iface br0 inet static
bridge_ports eth1
address X.Y.Z.3
broadcast X.Y.Z.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway X.Y.Z.1
That is, if you current specify a device (like eth1) directly, transfer its
settings to br0 and attach the original NIC as a bridge port. [Or change
instances of "eth1" to "br0", then add the "bridge_ports eth1" line.] Then
continue as I originally described...
Cheers,
Scott
