	Um, I believe he is running nat on rl0 (his DSL).  As the packet
	leaves rl0  it will be assigned the SRC IP of rl0.  Hence, there
	will be no asymetric routing as all packets will have a source of
	199.185.xx.xx leaving that interface.

	Just make sure his fwd statement is before his divert rules.
