'Cause that's bridging, not routing.

You can try to set up bridging. Or you can subnet,

                +----------+
                | Internet |
                +----------+
                     | 123.456.789.254/25
                     |
                     | 123.456.789.129/25
            +------------------+
            | FreeBSD Firewall |
            +------------------+
                     | 123.456.789.126/25
                     |
       +-------------+-----------+
       |             |           |
       |             |           |
       |             |           |
  +----------+  +---------+  +--------+
  |   DNS    |  |   Web   |  | E-mail |
  |  Server  |  |  Server |  | Server |
  +----------+  +---------+  +--------+
  123.456.789.1 123.456.789.2 123.456.789.3

Subnetting is probably the "more correct" and easier way to go if
you're not familiar with bridging.

This is more of a -questions question. Redirecting the thread.
