Hi Didier,

The vast majority of documents I've read tell me that once you make the
bridge, the hardware NIC must be robbed of its IP addresses. So that's
what I did.

By the time I finally got a LAN-peer setup working, after about a year
on and off of trying, and 2.5 weeks of full-on work to create the
LAN-peer configuration, I was so happy just to have something work
that I didn't go back and do the obvious experiment of adding the
addresses to enp40s0 and seeing what difference that makes. My itch was
scratched :-)

Right now my long term TODO list includes writing two books and
creating a playlist creation system, so it will be several months
before I have time to run the experiment. If you remind me in
September, I just might run the experiment then.

Thanks,

SteveT
