Subject:   HELP! Server not routing packets anymore...

I have a FreeBSD 4.1-R server that has 2 NICs in it. The first NIC, ed0,
is on a /30 netblock that is just this machine and the gateway to my
ISP. The other NIC, ed1, is on a seperate /29 netblock and serves as the
gateway for the 5 computers behind it. 

I have all the PCs (mixed environment Windows, FreeBSD and Mac) set up
with static IPs on the same netblock as ed1 and using ed1's IP as the
gateway aaddress.

The problem is that none of the PCs can talk to the outside world thru the
server. The server has connectivity to the outside world, but does not
seem to be routing packets out for the other machines behind it.

From my FreeBSD box running behind the server I can SSH into the server,
but I can's SSH or ping to the outside world.

Here is what I have in my rc.conf file:

hostname="route-1.damn-cool.net"
defaultrouter="209.134.127.238"
gateway_enable="YES"
router_enable="YES"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 209.134.127.237 netmask 255.255.255.252"
ifconfig_ed1="inet 209.134.101.81 netmask 255.255.255.248"
linux_enable="YES"
#firewall_enable="YES"
#firewall_script="/etc/rc.firewall"
#firewall_type="OPEN"
log_in_vain="YES"
forward_sourceroute="YES" 

and here is what netstat -r gives for output:

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags      Netif Expire

209.134.101.80/29  link#2             UC          0        0      ed1 =>
route-1            0:20:78:13:4d:49   UHLW        0       12      lo0
209.134.127.236/30 link#1             UC          0        0      ed0 =>
route-1            0:20:78:13:43:b9   UHLW        0        6      lo0
209.134.127.238    0:0:c:45:5c:44     UHLW        3        3      ed0    1137    

If anyone has any ideas I would greatly apreciate it. I have been killing
myself for 3 days now trying to find an answer to this problem.
