As someone observing from the peanut gallery, it would help me if the explanation was a little less detailed -- sort of an overview. Let me make a guess, using maybe some acronyms (which I should probably try to avoid). I'm guessing that you have a private LAN (192.168.3.0) behind server b, with no direct connection to the Internet. Ahead of that, to provide a connection to the Internet, you have server A. The combination of the two is intended to create a DMZ (iirc) -- a place where you can put computers / servers that are more accessible from outside the LAN.
