As long as your configuration is working I'd stick with it. As an
experiment I tried changing the address of eth0 to my static IP address.
I lost access to the 'net from every machine here, including the firewall
machine. When I put it back to 10.0.0.2 I was able to access the 'net
again. As I said, I'm not a networking expert so I can't explain it. But
since its working I'm sticking with it.
