I asked a similar question some time ago, and below is one of the answers:

With K-STAR on a FastPath, this is possible. You need to select option
7 (and, by the way, configure things properly everywhere else), and it
will service "MacIP" clients (be they NCSA Telnet, our HostAccess, whatever)
connected "via" ethertalk as well as localtalk.

(By the way, selecting option 7 implies that only one K-STAR (or KIP) box
may be "in" the same zone - where "in a zone" means "has the same zone
assigned to its localtalk port".)

I've tried it, and it works. I can't find option 7 documented anywhere, and
I don't know if it is an official feature or not.
