    What is the reason for needing a single IP?  Is it just a convenience
    or is there a deeper technical reason?

    Perhaps a VNIC on an etherstub would do it.  You'd need to use
    forwarding from the crossover interfaces (and use a separate IP
    network for those) to the VNIC, but that might be more straightforward
    than bridging.
