What's more, from a theoretical point-of-view, one would need (at least)
two public IP addresses to run both a public server, and a bridge server.
Since the point of a bridge server is to not have it in the main Tor
directory, a server trying to server both functions on a single public
IP, would end up blocked by that IP.
Of course, this kind of defeats the purpose. =;o)
