DLSw + SRTrans Compatibility?

I have: R3,2,and 5 share a switched e-net, R2,5,4 share frame, R5 is
hub.

R3-----------R5
    \ / \
      \ / \
        R2 R4

I am asked to config DLSw between To1 and To2 and between R5 and R4 (this
peering allows hosts on the e-net to connect to To2). R3 is to act as DLSw
backup for R5 to To2.

I used the ethernet (switched) redundancy feature to provide the backup. Is
this the best/only way to accomplish the objective?

Leter, the lab asked me to accomodate an low latency application (UDP 6500)
between To1 and the e-net by configuring the e-net interface on R2. I
wanted to set up ip policy routing to set the IP precedence to critical for
UDP 6500 for traffic to the IP address of my DLSw peer that connects to the
e-net. But the lab says to accomplish the objective by configuring R2's
e-net interface ( and it seems dumb to go across the network and back when
you could just SRTranslate to the e-net ). How can I configure this?
