I guess my original response in this thread is still the best solution--
use a router that includes bridging functions (sometimes called a
"brouter") so that the DTC traffic can be bridged and the other packets
can be routed.  The HP Model 240 includes this function and it is quite
reasonably priced.  This avoids the use of Openview altogether.
