IRB and Translational Bridging

Can you do TR to Ethernet translational bridging, and have IRB?

For example everyone has the same IP subnet on both Ethernet
and TR, but I want 2 seperate subnets of IPX on the token ring and
the ethernet segments. I want all the users on Ethernet and Tokenring
to use the IP address of the BVI as the default gateway. The config
would look something like this...

bridge irb
bridge 1 protocol ieee
source-bridge ring-group 100
source-bridge transparent 100 101 1 1

int BVI0
 ip addresss 10.1.0.1

int e0
 bridge-group 1
 ipx network beef1

int tok0
 source-bridge 5 1 100
 source-bridge spanning
 ipx network beef2

What do you guys think? I feel comfortable that the ethernet would still get
to the BVI, but would the Tokenring be bridged into the BVI? Can someone try
this in there lab with a router that has both token ring and ethernet, and
then try to ping the BVI from another Tokenring router or station?
