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.
