First, thanks very much for the reply.

Second, I have one question:

   "How does one set (and save) a default route (as in "route add default 
10.0.0.1")
   from within pfSense?"

   I can set it in the shell (using ssh(1) to the 4801 box), but it goes away 
over
   a reboot.  Normally, I would stick this as a line in /etc/rc.conf, but on 
pfSense
   there are two versions (ro and rw) which seem to be PHP function based, 
sigh...

Lastly, an admission:

   "After looking at my crude ASCII drawing, and noting the different IP 
addresses,
   I recalled something that I had forgotten - my local LAN was /27 not /24!  As
   soon as I redid my pfSense configuration with this new CIDR block, and I 
believe
   I _did_ need to add a default route (see point two above), everything 
started to
   work as advertised."

Sorry to have wasted all this bandwidth for something that was a silly oversight
on my part.  And thanks to all those of you who kindly took the time to reply to
my requests for help.  It looks like pfSense 1.2.1 is a winner, and I have only
begun to scratch its surface.  Thanks again.

Regards,

web...
