Alan posted the correct answer to this one before but just said use IRB, I'll
add a little to this. As I Thought I'd take 10 mins to configure it to see if
I remembered.....

Router 1 is the hub connected via frame to router 3 & router 5. The hub and
spokes share IPX address 1234 on the frame network which is bridged and hence
1 network number between the three routers. I've configured IPX networks on
the ethernet interfaces of router 1, 3 and 5, these are 1111, 3333 and 5555
just to test it.

Router 3 & 5 have almost the same config except of course only one map
statement for bridging under their frame-relay interfaces, and different
network numbers on there ethernets. These also are not using sub int but that
doesn't matter anyway.

Router one:

!
bridge irb
!
interface Ethernet0
 ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.128.0
 ipx network 1111
!
!
interface Serial0
 encapsulation frame-relay
!
interface Serial0.2 multipoint
 ip address 10.10.1.1 255.255.0.0
 ip ospf network point-to-multipoint
 frame-relay map bridge 105 broadcast
 frame-relay map bridge 103 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.1.3 103 broadcast
 frame-relay map ip 10.10.1.5 105 broadcast
 no frame-relay inverse-arp
 bridge-group 1
!
interface BVI1
 no ip address
 no ip directed-broadcast
 ipx network 1234
!
bridge 1 protocol ieee
 bridge 1 route ip
 bridge 1 route ipx
 no bridge 1 bridge ip

!!!
router_1#sh ipx route
[snip codes]
4 Total IPX routes. Up to 1 parallel paths and 16 hops allowed.

No default route known.

C 1111 (NOVELL-ETHER), Et0
C 1234 (NOVELL-ETHER), BV1
R 3333 [03/01] via 1234.0000.0cc4.6160, 42s, BV1
R 5555 [03/01] via 1234.0000.0c6f.491c, 4s, BV1

Hope this helps.
