No, you cannot. How are you going to distinguish packets that belong to
the A->B direction from the ones that belong to the B->A direction if
both of them are being written to the 'write' end of the same pipe?

Instead of just proposing this idea without fully understanding how it
would work (here on the developer mailing list), it would be much better
if you wrote a small program demonstrating the technique and proving
that it is possible. Otherwise this is all just speculation and people
disagreeing about what may or may not work.

Certainly it is not at all possible to create a single pipe and using it
for both directions of multiple bridges... I don't know how you came to
the conclusion that could work at all.
