set the linux boxes up with a gateway of the private ip address of the
machine with the two nic cards. in other words, we used a linux box with
2 nics. external being on the internet and internal being on the private
network(192.168.2.0). we set all of our clients with a gateway of
192.168.2.9 so that they can reach the outside world. hope it helps.
