ok, my setup is slightly different. per this statement here:
"The above assumes that the IP address of the ALPHA is 10.223.8.10 and
that it is connected through eth0. It also assumes that the ALPHA's
default gateway is configured with the IP address of eth0."

the alpha is definitely on the loc interface with the ip 10.223.8.10 BUT it
does *not* have a default gateway of this machine. it has a default gateway
to another router connected to a private wan.

as a side note, the eth0 interface has ip 10.223.8.7.

this machine does not act as a gateway to the network.  it is an email
server BUT it is the only device that has an internet accessable IP
address(as the private network filters email), all others go through a
private wan to connect which is controlled by people outside of my
department so i must route incoming connections through this device
including the alpha in question BUT it is not the internet gateway.

would that really matter though?  it doesnt look like the shorewall server
is ever even trying to connect to the private network.
