That would be counter to what a bridge is - which is to say, a switch (which 
floods on ARP-fail).

Every time you start a VPS, the bridge's MAC address table is probably getting 
flushed.  It doesn't 'converge' for a period of time (once it's learned where 
MAC addresses 'are') - which is probably significant at 32 VPS's.

That said, openvswitch is a cool project.  Just wanted to be clear - the bridge 
isn't a hub, it's just a switch that falls back to flooding traffic out all 
interfaces when its mac-address-table is empty.
