We are doing almost the same thing to bridge SPAN to TEXNET (a large
network of universities in Texas).  We are using circuit TRANSPORT TYPE
ROUTING III.  This allows your bridge nodes to see all the other nodes
in the immediately adjacent area, but no further.  Additionally, we have
a program called PSTHRU, allegedly written by someone at DEC, that 
allows "poor man's routing" to work for interactive logins (SET HOST
TEXNETNODE::UTSPAN::SPAN_NODE::).  I can send it to you if you want.
