And the OP didn't give any details of his system.
In his rc.conf he at least needs the defaultrouter directive.
It also easy to make the local machine an router.
Those command could include gateway_enable and/or router_enable.

And the OP never even said that those are on his local network.
He just routed out eth0 and we have no clue as to what is connected
to that.
