Has anyone tried chaining unnumbered IP? What effect would this have
on secondary addresses? Here's what I'd like to do...

	Net a.a.x.0
		|
		|
	    router1---net b.b.x.0
		|
		| net b.b.w.0 & net a.a.z.0 secondary
		|
	    router2---net c.c.0.0
		|
		| unnumbered IP
		|
	    router3---net b.b.z.0
		|
		| unnumbered IP
		|
	    router4
		|
		|
	Net a.a.y.0

The serial line between router1 & router2 exists and has a.a.z.0 as a
secondary IP address. The serial line between router2 & router3 is not
installed yet. If it is configured unnumbered, will it carry the same
two IP addresses as the top port of router2?
When the line between router3 & router4 is installed, will it pass on
the two addresses at the top port of router2?
Can these unnumbered connections be chained like this or should I make
these sites bite the bullet and reconfigure all their machines to
match net c.c.0.0?
All networks shown are class B & subnetted. 
The sites 3 & 4 already exist and are configured with addresses as shown, 
but are not connected yet. The order of the connections is based on physical 
locations which are separated by a great distance and a lot of water.
( In other words, it wouldn't be cheap to connect out of this order )
Thanks...
