Not trying to beat a dead horse, but there wasn't any way I could do this - they were core nodes in the ring - for bi-directional communication across the ring, I needed them IP-adjacent to other core ring nodes.  It's a moot point now, since all our rings are now either all ME3400 or all ME3600, with new rings being completely ME3600.

Next on the list - already converted to routed interfaces in the lab in preparation. :-)  Any caveats I should be aware of in a mixed Juniper/Cisco environment?

Thanks for the advice, it's been quite helpful.
