Whoops, I meant a different area for each network.

The question came up in a discussion of whether we should stop bridging 2
of our networks and route between them instead.  Someone said (incorrectly,
as it turns out) "You can't run DECnet over 2 Ethernet adapters". We can
probably solve our problem by configuring the bridges to prevent certain
protocols passing through them, but we wanted to know if routing was
possible. Cheers, Neil.
