It is technically possible for B to tell A "you can reach 172.16.16.0/24 on the same media that you receive this update on". However what people seem to be saying is that there is no dynamic routing protocol that implements this.There are two solutions to your dilemma: - Route via B - Add A to 172.16.16.0/24 It's not a matter of dynamic routing, it's just the way subnets work. If you want all the hosts to be able to talk to each other directly, put them all on the same subnet.
It seems I'm not the only idiot asking these types of questions. I found there's a whole RFC about it. http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1433.txt -Ralph
