You could skip the BSD box altogether, I am assuming its there for NAT,
and just use the NAT on the 675.  It is working fine for me.  US West is
in the habit of telling people they need multiple IPs but the technician I
talked to at VISI was nice enough to tell me the entries to make it work
on the 675(all the information you need is in the 675's manual); after
having used FreeBSD for a couple of months for NAT.  It works great.  I
have only had to restart it once in the last 6 months.

I still haven't been able to get the 675's DHCP server working
correctly but that would just be gratuitus sugary topping.
