I was hoping the Gnatbox gurus out there could help me solve this problem,
which I think is solvable.

 

We currently have a SONET connection that gives us an Ethernet handoff that
is plugged into our Cisco Router.  The Cisco router is plugged into our
Gnatbox 1000.  The Gnatbox is plugged into our network switch.  I don't see
a reason to keep the Cisco router in place, but I'm having difficulty
wrapping my head around the IP addressing/routing with the firewall.  There
are 2 sets of public IP's involved, and 1 private scheme (192.168.1.0/24).
Our external router address is assigned an IP in the range of our service
provider: X.X.8.14/30, and the internal interface on our router is assigned
an IP that is in the range of our public subnet assigned to us by our
provider from ARIN: X.X.50.65/28.  The external interface on our gnatbox is
X.X.50.66/28.  Can the gnatbox route between all 3 networks even though only
2 network interfaces on the firewall would have physical connections?

 

-I want tunnels from outside users to go to our assigned subnet
(X.X.50.64/28) to go to private servers like they do now.  

-I want our private workstations to be able to access all our servers by
private IPs like they can now

 

I'm not sure if this is possible, but it doesn't seem to me like our router
is doing anything for us.  Although, how does the rest of the world know
where our X.X.9.64/28 address are without a router?  RIP on the firewall? I
assume I need to use a PSN somehow, but it seems like it would cause
problems with our static VPN connection that uses an IP from our range
(X.X.50.66), so I would want to be able to keep that for the VPN object.
And I have some "special" users mapped to our external IP's (in the
X.X.50.64/28 range) for outbound VPNs to clients that I still need to use.

 

Please see this picture for a drawing of what I'm trying to explain:

I hope this makes some sense, and I really appreciate any help/thoughts that
you can provide.
