I just came to the conclusion that Firewall / masquerading was the
correct way to do this. Unfortunately, I am still struggling with the docs
and trial and error to get it set up. Does anyone have this setup with
a dynamic assigned IP assignment for the internet connection with ethernet
for the private network. A set of samples may wash the mud off my glasses.
