Here's a Cisco position on my question that I located on Cisco's TAC Guide.
Thanks,

Subject: GRE Tunneling & Bridging
Is it possible to connect 2 locations via the Internet and have both
locations share the same subnet ?
I know that this is theoretically possible by using a GRE Tunnel between the
2 routers at each location AND by
activating IRB on the routers.
(Each router will have a minimum of 3 interfaces - subnet, dmz, & Tunnel;
subnet & dmz interfaces
will route IP - subnet & Tunnel will bridge IP).
Can this work in the real world and has anybody done this before ?
The reason the 2 locations need have the same subnet is that Unix Hosts at
each location need to be configured
in a cluster group on the same subnet for disaster recovery purposes.
Thanks,
Simcha
