AFAIK you *do* need to use it.  AIUI the FreeBSD bridging code doesn't
support bridging an interface that's also a "real IP" interface, even
though there's no theoretical reason why that couldn't work.  Since you
need the LAN interface for administration, it can't be bridged.  You can,
however, connect two physical interfaces to the LAN; just be sure the
bridged interface isn't trying to do ARP, etc.
