does bridge require static or dynamic ip?

if more than one bridge can be configured per one isp connection, how do i configure?
It's *best* to have a static IP for bridges as well as relays of course. even more important for a bridge is to have a static IP address because it gets into clients torrc file and remains there, to be used as an entry point in the Tor network - if something changes (like the IP address), it requires manual action from that client. At least for relays the changed IP address is fetched from the consensus and does not require manual effort from the clients.
Anyway, even if you have a dynamic address you can still run a bridge but it shouldn't change too often. If it changes every day, I don't think it will make an useful bridge. 

Better run a relay. or get a static IP address for a bridge.
