the two mail servers that send outbound to the fbsd gateway are on the
subnet, same rules. the firewall is "outside" the subnets of the mail
servers and gateways.

We haven't put a sniffer yet. there's none on windows boxes, and tcpview
on the fbsd boxes.

We going to start changing NIC model/brands.
