Only Ethernet LANs are.

Hmm, not ideal.
I do have 3 FDDI cards, do you know if the DEFPA cards work on OpenVMS for Integrity boxes?

Is it possible to run a cluster over both ethernet and FDDI?
Basically, I'd like to connect Machine A -> B using ethernet and B -> C using FDDI - is this possible?

Unfortunately that configuration violates the rule of full connectivity. All cluster members must have direct connectivity to other members.

But if you add a FDDI-Ethernet-bridge, you should get a "legal" configuration.
