Hugh,
Thanks for your reply, which got me thinking in the right directions.
I thought the list might be interested in the eventual solution:
Define the connected port on the next hop router as the gateway
address for the new subnet that we want the portmaster to accept, and
create a subinterface on the PM3's ethernet port with an address
within that subnet. The router is already set up for addresses it
knows to propagate around our network, and now the PM3 thinks that it
is on the subnet in question it happily passes outgoing traffic to
the gateway for that subnet. It all works neatly (even IPX/SPX,
although I can't quite work out *how* that aspect is working since
IPX is disabled on the subinterface!).
