this is more the realm of James Fogg and the networking weenies, but i'll try
since i do know a bit about networking.

what you want to do should work, but you are going to have to use special 
netmasks on the U5 to make it work.

uhm, oh my.  this is going to take some thinking, i'll let the network weenies
step in unless i manage to come up with the solution.
