For not-quite-L3-switches, they need either an internal RSM or external router to make routing decisions, then they remember them and skip the router afterward. The switch must have some L3 assistance, such as a 5000 with a supervisor supporting NFFC or NFFC-II,, or the equivalents on a 6000 series. NFFC will do MLS for IP NFFC-II does MLS for IP and IPX. Nothing I know of does Appletalk.
