This did indeed clear things up a bit.
The top suggestions were (in order received):
1) inventive NAT translations between offices.
Note a solution for us as we need to be able to do some of the nasty
Microsoft stuff that imbeds the IP in the data-stream.
2) QIP Enterprise Management software from Lucent

3) Checkpoint Meta-IP

4) IP AddressWorks from Process Software
http://www.process.com/ipworks/address.html
We are now looking into (2) and (4).
Thanx to all who responded.
