Swarthmore College has just installed an AGS+ with several  MEC-6 Ethernet
cards and we are routing TCP/IP using IGRP with an 8-bit subnet mask.  On
one of our Ethernet ports we have a gateway computer (Apollo) attached to a
token ring with about a dozen other Apollos using TCP/IP on the Token Ring.
 The gateway worked fine in our previous bridged environment using routed
with static routing- the question is how do I  setup the Cisco to provide
Internet access to the token ring?  Can I specify static routes on the
Cisco to accomplish this?  Do I want to assign the token ring it's own
8-bit subnet or try to breakup the host address space on the current subnet
to do this?  

If my ethernet is 130.58.67.0 and the gateway is 130.58.67.10 and the token
ring is assigned a new 8-bit subnet of 130.58.68.0,
will the following static route do the trick:

ip route 130.58.68.0 130.58.67.10

Will the Cisco know to route traffic for 130.58.68.0 to the gateway
computer via the cisco port associated with 130.58.67.0 in this case?
