I think I will need to enable proxy_arp. It is disabled in the kernel by 
default. If I enable on the kernel level and do a "shorewall clear" then 
hopefully it will route.

In your opinion do you think I would have to enable it only on the 
external "public" interface?

I was reading this document today -> http://www.shorewall.net/ProxyARP.htm

Does shorewall/iptables work at the layer 2 level? I thought it would 
only be layer 3.

Thank you,
Mitch
