This is the b-node style. It is also used in hybrid nodes as a last resort. However, it is usually asking for trouble to set up a WAN bridge unless there is no other choice. The background traffic can be killing. In this case, creating a WINS environment is usually a better solution. It preserves the broadcast isolation of the routed environment and still gives access to network browsing provided certain registry changes are made regarding maintaining the browse list. These were addressed in a separate response. Thanks - John -- John A.
