This correct as far as it goes. The firewall has two ip addresses, so the
next question is, which one should he use? The answer is, the IP address
on the local network.
Also, in case he doesn't already know this, if he does not have a range of
IP addresses assigned to him, he should use an "experimental" network for
his internal network. See RFCs 1597 and 1918. Available networks are:
# Class | Networks
# A | 10.0.0.0
# B | 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.0.0
# C | 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.0
