I want the other nic to be in a bridge, but not have any ip or connectivity outside the bridge especially to the host. It will plug into a DSL modem and a vif associated to this bridge will be the red interface on a Linux firewall (Lab only environment). My custom bridge script is as follows:
Why would you dedicate a physical interface to something that that isn't doing any real physical (sending something over a wire outside of the virtual world) work? You don't need a physical interface for a bridge. Just create an ifcfg-br123 or whatever. If you don't plan on using eth1 for anything, maybe create bond0 with eth0 and eth1 for some redundancy.
Sorry, ignore that. My sleepy brain didn't register the bit about the DSL modem. :P
