Now that I have found my bridge_mappings configuration statement, I can 
return to thinking about what you said.  It sounds very similar to what 
George said --- it is just that you suggest an OVS switch in place of 
George's br-join (which I had assumed was also an OVS switch, since it is 
named like the others).  Do I have this right?

Thanks,
Mike
