I seem to recall back in the late 80s companies like Vitalink thrived in the 'WAN bridge' market for just this sort of thing. Of course, routers at the time were heresy, of a sort, but Cisco eventually won consigning Vitalink to the thriftshop of technology history.

Jeez, spanning tree isn't that hard. :)
