Sorry if this is a dumb question.  My firewall isn't routing, shouldn't it be?

I have a Sun 220R running Solaris 2.6 w/patches and FW-1 4.1 w/service packs.

I have a policy installed of: any any any allow short.

This is my network layout:
                 [143 subnet]
                      |
                      |
                      |
[144 subnet]---[internal router]---[      fw     ]---[external router]
               [ 123.123.143.1 ]   [ 123.123.1.4 ]   [  123.123.1.1  ]
               [  123.123.2.1  ]   [ 123.123.2.4 ]
               [ 123.123.145.1 ]   [123.123.146.1]
               [ 123.123.144.1 ]           |
                      |                    |
                      |                    |
                      |                    |
                 [145 subnet]         [146 subnet]

-the internal router has a default gateway of 2.4(the firewalls IP)
-the fw has a default gateway of 1.1(the external routers IP)
-this is the routing table on the firewall:
123.123.2.0          123.123.2.4          U        2      3  qfe2
123.123.1.0          123.123.1.4          U        2      3  qfe3
123.123.146.0        123.123.146.1        U        2      3  qfe1              
192.168.118.0        192.168.118.1        U        3      4  hme0              
224.0.0.0            192.168.118.1        U        3      0  hme0              
default              123.123.1.1          UG       0   2235                    
127.0.0.1            127.0.0.1            UH       0   8170  lo0               


The problem is, I can't communicate from internal clients, on the 144 for instance, to 
the external router or to the 146 subnet.  Do I need to create routes on the fw for 
the 144, 145 and 146 subnets?  Or should the fw software be doing that?  What 
configuration do I need to set?  If I create a route on the fw, for the 146 for 
instance, then it works, but it seems wrong.  Is it?
