   Well the idea is to use it to connect a network of one UNIX box, a 
couple of Macs, and a printer or two to the outside world, using a 
NetBSD machine as a router, firewall, NAT, and DHCP server to dole out 
RFC1918 addresses to the local network.

   Thanks to everyone here for their replies...it sounds to me like 
it'll do fine...I suppose I'll just have to execute "dhclient" in 
rc.local.
