I think the stock answer is "Use Linux Router Project instead." I think
it's at www.linuxrouter.org, but don't quote me. This is a better solution
to your problem. I did my first setup in about an hour and a half, in an
environment much like yours. Hope this helps.
I don't know about a list archive, though. Anybody???
