SUMMARY: Using SLIP to link sub-nets

I've posted the following message to sun-nets.

Original posting :
======== =======

Hello,

we are planning to install here a cluster of IP sub-nets with SLIP. Here is
the situation :

        | SLIP _____
        |-SUN-----------------| |
        | . | S |
                . | U |-------> Internet
        | . | N |
        |-SUN-----------------|_____|
        | |
                                 |
                             ---------

We don't want to waste one sub-net number for each SLIP link. I would like
to know if there is any kind of problem if we use the IP number of the Ethernet
side of the SUNS to define the SLIP link. We are running SUNOS 4.1 and 4.0.3.

Any help/hint would be great !

Here is the summary of responses I've got :
==== == === ======= == ========= ==== ===

It's possible to use the IP number of the Ethernet side of the SUNS to define
the SLIP link, but the recommendation is to use gated instead of routed.
Gated is available for anonymous ftp from :
gated.cornell.edu:pub/gated/gated-2.0.1.10.tar.Z
