Keep the ether0's on the same class C as the rest of the network and either
static route each subnet to the respective PM or use OSPF.

(the other possibility will use the first PM as a gateway for the others,
but I don't like that method, as it adds a hop)

Are these PM2's or PM3's?

Reminds me, need to finish up a simple OSPF setup page.
