For that to even be remotely possible, you'll have to do more than
bridge.  An IPsec tunnel would make this a little closer to reality,
but that will just route between subnets, and will not forward
broadcasts (which is a really bad idea anyway).

What you're describing sounds unnecessary, like a really bad idea, and
I can't imagine any scenario to justify that horrid network design.
