If I'm understanding correctly what you are talking about is setting up
"G" as the router for "A" and "H." So in that case you would set up at
least two NICs on "G." One pointed to network "N" where "H" resides
and one pointed to the other network where "A" resides. Does that
answer your question? "G" would be aware of both networks so "H" and
"A" could reach one another via "G."
