Router help request

[MonMotha]

I think for his application, this would be a bit of overkill...  All 
we're talking about is 3 physical subnets, two of them acting logically 
as one (I'm hoping he's using proxy-arp on his ppp connection, otherwise 
that's probably the problem).  In this case, since all you have is one 
internal IP subnet (the private one) and the rest of the world, we're 
talking about 3 routes (add one in for loopback).  These routes are 
likely not to change (unless he does something drastic like renumber his 
  internal LAN), so dynamic routing daemons wouldn't be of much use here 
and could very well just complicate matters more.
