I had heard that this may present problems. You may want to look at a new product announced by DEC called LAN Bridge 100 that allows you to connect multiple ethernets together. They can be electrically isolated with a fiber optic link up to 2000 meters, traffic that is local to one ethernet does not get sent to the other ethernet unless that's where the destination is, to the systems it looks like one big ethernet, and you can link up to seven ethernets with bridges. It is also protocol independent. -- Rich Kotter decvax!decwrl!muscat!kotter
