Jimmy,

I've just tried your bridge and see exactly the same symptoms.

Firstly, after purging the bridge cache, you bridge appears in the  
bridge list as UTAH_CHPC. However it is set as disabled and  
unreachable even though an "ordinary" ping finds the machine OK. If I  
manually enable your bridge I can then select it as the bridge to use  
and I then see the same results that you're seeing.

If you purge the bridge cache now (while your bridge is misbehaving),  
does it appear as disabled/unreachable? While testing your bridge I  
noticed that one of ours was doing the same thing as yours and that  
restarting it made it work correctly again i.e. subsequent purge of  
bridge cache made it available and it worked as expected.
