Re: LAN RAS setup guide?

Before I address this futher below,...keep in mind that the root cause is due to you having a single subnet LAN that does not already have a LAN Router making the Routing Decisions which leave your Firewall as the Default Gateway of everything.

No, that was not the problem. The problem was only that one router wasn't properly passing route info. All the rest of your explanation really doesn't apply either.

In my particular case I've got two gigE networks, each with an internet connection via a 100mb link (the speed to the ISPs varies, but one is 20mbps). The routers for those are 10/100 units. Routing two gigE networks through those, or more consumer grade routers is a stupid idea as you'd lose considerable speed. Using a relatively idle host that has two gigE NICs is a more cost-effective solution. Upgrading to routers or a firewall with gigE connections would be cost prohibitive for this situation (and likely most others).
