If you are going to do a 3-node 'full-mesh' then you should consider 10G ethernet (a melanox w/ cables on ebay is about US$20 w/ cables!). Then you just enable STP on all the bridges and let it be. If you are taking 2 hops, that should still be well over the transfer rates you need for such a small cluster and STP will eventually work itself out.
