Hi Lonnie

There is no dnsmasq on the box, so I guess at least not easy.

With my old router (instead of the astlinux box) I could simply add a static 
route to the router and everything worked. Apparently, it also modified its 
firewall settings automatically.

Anyway, do you see another alternative?

Thanks

Michael
