P.S. it isn't just a situation. It actually is the case all over. 2 networks
in the one place cannot have clients in one network see clients in another
without a network bridge. Only the machine that would BE the network bridge
can see both sides of the network because it has NICs set up with both
network credentials, 1 per NIC of course. That machine would be the bridge
if there is definitely to be contact between the two networks and if there
is not to be contact, would see both sides of the network without that
bridge, anyway.
