Leaving an Interface Unconfigured

[James McDonald]

I have a CentOS 4.3 box which I am setting up as an openvpn gateway

I would like to use a bridged configuration between the vpn interface tap0
and the internal network nic eth1

This is achieved by creating a bridge interface br0 then adding eth1 and
tap0 to it and configuring the br0 int to have the internal nic's IP and
then setting both tap0 and eth1 to have no ip address using ifconfig

How do I stop eth1 from being configured on boot I would like a seperate
service named "bridge" to build the br0 int without having to worry about
Redhat config scripts playing with my setup.
