I'm just quoting the documentation.
http://h41379.www4.hpe.com/doc/73final/documentation/pdf/DECNET_OVMS_NET_MAN.PDF 
page 2-15:
"On AXP systems, Digital supports level 1 routing only for nodes acting 
as routers for a cluster alias. Digital does not support level 2 routing 
or routing between multiple circuits.♦"

Essentially saying that routing, except for one special case is not 
supported at all on Alpha. And that one special case is just for level 1 
routing.

Now, I'm maybe not totally surprised if it works anyway, but officially 
DEC did not support this on Alpha, but only on VAX.
