You don't need to enable bridging on any interface.

"Bridged" ADSL means the ADSL modem does bridging - so the ethernet port
on the modem is "bridged" to the DSLAM at the other end, which allows you
to just configure up your eth2 with the IP address they gave you.

Then you just configure up eth1 with one of the IP addresses in the subnet
they are routing you[1], and eth0 with an internal IP address.

Then set up masquerading for anything coming from  eth0.

    difficult to set up a proper DMZ
