Why even use a /24? Here is a "netstat -nr" from an interface default
client, which has an RFC1597 private network for its content server and a
BSD/OS 2.1 squid accelerator front-ending it.

The diffs are all PD and should apply OK against other BSDish systems. I
gave a more detailed talk about this at SF NANOG. The diffs are also quite
short.

You also need to set up a "socket" forwarder for things you want to be
handled by the private-net device:
telnet stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/libexec/tcpd socket 192.168.1.2 23
other-ssl stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/libexec/socket socket 192.168.1.2 145
There's a small amount of sendmail.cf work needed to masquerade as the private
host and relay mail between the different address spaces.
