IP-Ethernet Routing Problem (4.2)

Having two Ethernets with the same IP network number is sheer madness.

There should be no difficulty obtaining additional class C network
numbers for your extra Ethernets.

More desirable still would be to operate each Ethernet as a "subnet"
of your existing IP network number.  Contact <NIC at NIC.ARPA> for
a copy of the RFC describing subnetwork routing.

Subnetwork routing is fully supported in 4.3 BSD, and some versions
of 4.2;  contact me directly if you need more information.

Best,
