I am new to the game of using cisco routers and am not familiar with
all of the things that I might be able to do with our MGS/2.  I am
almost certain that what I need to do can't be done.  But if I don't
ask I won't discover that I am wrong.

The design of this network is not of my choice so don't ask me why we
have done such a silly thing as we have.  That just won't be helpful.

I have a large bridged network -- part fddi and part ethernet -- with
at least two and perhaps as many as 5 subnets connected to it.  The
number beyond two depends on how I connect some currently unconnected
networks.  I have a cisco router that connects this mess to a well
designed ethernet with a couple of hosts, a router to the outside
world and at Telebit Netblazer that uses dialup PPP to connect some
other disconnected pieces of our network.

The cisco is currently routing one subnet of the bridged network to
the second ethernet.  That leaves me with two problems for the other
subnets.  Routing them to the outside world and routing between them.
Can I get my cisco to solve these problems using secondary addresses
or some such?

If it is important we are using RIP for routing.

Thanks for any help.
