Give the linux machine two IP's on one interface. One on each block.
Then put a static route as default route to the firewall (Which should
be there already). Now you have a linux machine that can talk to both
networks and the internet. You need to turn on routing on it too. Next
just make the linux machine your default gateway in the machines that
you need to access both networks. Depending on the network block you are
in you need to set as default gateway the ip on the same block. BTW you
can do the same with an NT machine =). But I think you have to be
running NT server for that (not sure).
