The Plan9 way of handling internet gateways is to have a machine with 2 network 
adapters.  One connected inside your network, and one outside.  You configure 
the internal one, and bind it to /net.  And the internet facing port your bind 
to /net.alt.  Then any computer on the grid can import (rimport in 9front) 
/net.alt, and bind it over that computer's /net.  

'rimport gateway /net.alt /net'

And this is per process, or per window.  So you make a window on you inside the 
grid terminal, import the gateway's /net.alt, and then run mothra or netsurf.  
Open another window, and it will just have your terminals default /net that 
only sees inside the grid.
