See > bridge(4) manpage. (I haven't used this, I'm just brainstorming...) Actually the applicable manpage for this configuration is if_bridge(4), but I think the OP knew that. As someone else in this thread pointed out, the usual practice is to assign an IP address to the bridge0 interface and leave the member interfaces unnumbered. As for *why* the IP address keeps moving around, I'm not sure either.
