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.
