This might be what my problem is and fix-it.

Here is what I am doing.

I have 3 pm2ers and one class c, they are all at remote locations. So, I
at first subnetted them to a 64 block, x.x.x.192 but was having problems

If I set up the first one, with the first block, it would be

x.x.x.0 x.x.x.63

which I would than put the first one, x.x.x.1 as the ethernet port and
x.x.x.2 as the assigned.

Than, I had my second location, on another Frame-Relay DLCI and put it as

x.x.x.64 x.x.x.127 Broadcast 127

with x.x.x.65 as the ethernet and x.x.x.66 as assigned. But, now here is
the But, routing went to hell. For some reason, it does not like it. It
could not tell where to send all the traffic.

so here is the question, and I see from the post above it might work.

I would break it down to a 32 subnet

but can I use this over Frame-relay??

I would assign each ethernet from the first 32

location 1 206.29.220.1 255.255.255.224 ether0
206.29.220.33 255.255.255.224 assigned
location 2 206.29.220.2 255.255.255.224 ether0
206.29.220.65 255.255.255.224 assigned
location 3 206.29.220.3 255.255.255.224 ether0
206.29.220.97 255.255.255.224 assigned
