Subject: VLAN over WAN - DLSW or other method?

Hi,

I know this is sort of off-topic. Just was wondering
if anyone has ever tried to use DLSW to bridge a VLAN
between 2 sites over a routed WAN network. I have DLSW
up and the VLAN sub interface is receiving traffic for
each ping I'm doing from a host but the traffic
doesn't appear to be picked up by DLSw and passed
across the DLSW connection to other router and out the
LAN interface there.

Anyone know of any other solutions to get this to work
besides plain bridging, with just routers?

Thanks, Erick
