The AS400 could be connect to two separate hubs using two separate communications cards on two separate busses. Each LAN can have identical hardware and unique IP address. I have a 24/7 shop here with two AS400 locally and one in a remote DR site. We mirror all critical applications and data file between all three systems. Our DR site also takes live transactions by having ATT split traffic between sites. What single point of failure were you referring to? The hubs or the routers? They can be duplicated and used for splitting traffic. If you only use half the ports on a hub or switch, just a matter of plugging the PC from the failed hub to a working one. Just food for thought. I would like to know what solution you do come up with, just to satisfy my curiosity. Christopher K.

Chris, Thank You for the response, and yes this might be a solution. But because of the nature of the business this adds another failure point to the network and therefore is not a good solution for THIS customer. I am still looking for the answer for this client.
