I don't think you want a bridge, you want IPTables with NAT, or ipchains
with masquerading.
By my reading, if the adsl modem expects to speak to more than one computer
at a time then it will be a router and have multiple ethernet outlets. It is
unlikely that the interface at the other end of your adsl connection expects
to be communicating directly with 2 different IP addresses.

I have a linux server with modem (ppp) link to internet as well as two
ethernet cards:
one for my old 10-base-2 network and one for 10-base-T/TX.  The bridge is
used to connect
my two local nets to each other to appear as a single subnet, and so the
kids can still play IPX-based games etc. But I use masquerading to allow the
Windoze boxes to access the internet.
