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.
