Thanks for your answer, Dave. Basically, I want to configure the
multiport box as a router, but didn't have a third box up and running
to look like a different subnet. And it turns out that taking an
unused box off my stack of U1E's isn't plug'n play---shuffled too many
hard disks around before making a 400 mile move, so I've got some
reinstalls to do.

Sun's docs seem clear that a box is a router if it's got two IP's
configured and no /etc/notrouter file. If that's not the case, then I
need more calibration.
