I can help with the Bridging part. I have it with examples and in easy to
understand terms on my blog here :

http://myway2ccie.blogspot.com/2009/01/bridging-explained-with-configuration.html

P.S -: Please bear with the almost empty & dull blog. I have recently
started this blog so its the only technical post there as of now. ( and
looks like will remain the only one unless I hire myself a typist to do the
job for me :-) )

HTH,
Ravi
