In my case I have three physical networks. I don't know if I can/should
bridge all three to make it look like one logical network.

It's an ASUS ADSL wireless router which contains a four port ethernet hub
in addition to being a wireless AP and ADSL modem.

Maybe typically, but not applicable in my case.
I have five static IP addresses - one for my ADSL wireless router, two for
my servers and one which I normally use with desktop. The other is allocated
as and when I need to use it. What I can't figure out is whether the WLAN
interface on the wireless router will have the same static IP address as
the ethernet interface. At the moment the device acts as a bridge between
the ADSL and ethernet interfaces, but I don't know whether to set the WLAN
interface as a bridge or router.
