Or if you know the mac address, you can insert a static arp entry in a host that's connected to the bridge so you can reach that bridge on that ip-address. Or give the bridge a ip-address in the private range (10.x.x.x or so). And give a box connected to the bridge an ipaddress in the same rage so you can reach the bridge on that private ip-address. I'm not sure it's possible, but maybe it will give you some new ideas.
