Well, the problem with that is I really don't want that on the "outside" LAN.

Also, the Snapgear is a hell of a lot faster than the WRT54G.  The Linksys can 
barely get out of its own way.

I have a V3 WRT54G which supposedly has the Linux based firmware instead of the 
proprietary stuff in V5 and higher hardware, if that matters.
