Sorry about the confusion. No.... Imagine a small offsite (probably
768Kbps frame or something) where the "old" PCs were running Win95 and
using both IP and IPX (IPX for connection to the Novell servers, print
servers, etc). We've moved over to Active Directory, and virtually
everything is IP, but there are still some lingering IPX clients,
printers, etc..... So essentially, we can't separate the IPX traffic
from the IP traffic as the clients and routers interface are in the same
broadcast domain. Most of the PCs are now WinXP and use IP only, and
virtually all of the printers have been given an IP address and have
print queues via AD, but there are those lingering that are screwing up
the whole works.
Any comments on the tunneling idea?
Someone else suggested fallback bridging, so I went and read up on it
some on Cisco's website, but I don't know if I can utilize this. Any
input on that is welcome as well.

Would you have IPX on multiple VLANs then at the remote site? That
would be bad. It'd have to cross the WAN twice to go between VLANs.
