Can you network multipile IPC's so that more then 4 universes are available?

I'm having a bit of problem figuring out if this is possible. We recently had a customer who needed 12 universes of DMX output, but all we have are Hog IPC's. I couldn't figure out if you could connect the DP's from each console together or not, and they ended up using MIDI cables to control everything, and just patch each DP to where it needed to be.

What I am wondering, is if you can connect the consoles together via the network ports through the usual Router or switch, and then just control the DP's in one console from another (so in other words connect 3 consoles together, and just use one console to control everything using all 12 universes). Its different from the midi thing, since all that does is trigger a cue list or other basic things like that. Nothing detailed about this in the manual or in any cues I can see.

I'm hoping that its similar to attaching a external DP2000 or 4000. Just would like to know before this comes up again.
