Of course you have to be able to see the forest through all of the
trees. You wrote:

You are most definitely wrong. Simon described this setup:

WAN a.b.c.d <--> Dom1 ---+--- Dom0
                  Dom2 ---+
                   ...    |
                  DomN ---+

All of the DomUs AND DOM0 can access the internet through Dom1. This is
exactly the same thing IP-wise as this:

WAN a.b.c.d <-> FW -> switch ---- pc0
                        |---------pc1
                        |---------pc2
                        ...
                        |---------pcN

That is exactly what the Shorewall two-interface Quickstart Guide shows
you how to set up. As Martin says, you just have to "put the
firewall/router/NAT in a DomU".
