I do not know what kind of router you are using, but if you are using cisco routers, add an ethernet interface in the router and connect it to the internet directly. You will be able to accomplish the necessary routing arrangement very cleanly with this setup. Unfortunately, Unix systems are not designed to have multiple ethernet interfaces cleanly. __ _ _ __ / ) // ' ) ) / _/_ / __. __ // / / _ o /_ __. __ / (__/ (_/|_/ (_
