[nsp] Remote Transparent Bridging

I am trying to implement a version of remote bridging much like RSRB but for
transparent bridging. Is this possible? Am utilizing DLSw to hopefully
achieve this. I have a private IP network which I am trying to bridge via a
'public' IP network. I can see in DLSw configuration examples that the
following is possible but cannot get this to run as intended.

Here I am using Ethernet0 for the TCP connectivity for the DLSw peers. The
Ethernet1 interface is connected to a switch and participating in a
bridge-group. The configurations on both routers are similar and only have
the DLSw peer-ids reversed in each case.

Any advice or helps and hints for this.

Many thanks in advance.
