ok, thank you, but I'm not sure that it'll work for this situation will it?.  I 
already have three interfaces in the machine because there are two lans on 
separate subnets and some of the servers cannot be located on the dmz with a 
public address cause they are domain controllers.  Is there a way I can keep 
the current lan setups since some of them are also on xen machines running on 
the lan?

I agree with Simon. The configuration that he recommends is so much
cleaner than what you currently have; and it will work.
