Thanks Lonnie. Yes you are right.
I tried setting a public address with Dyn DDNS and it worked fine actually.
I don't need any routes as devices on the data VLAN only need to access
Astlinux and nothing else.
I thought about using the external interface but I don't want to open up ports
and don't want to use VPN.
I might try Davids suggestion of running two instances of inadyn and I will let
you know how it goes.

Michael Knill
