	209.88.252.104/29 is not an even subnet.  Verify with your ISP.
	read below.  Probably 209.88.252.104/30.  Either that or you are
	stating it wrong.

	I can't understand what you are trying to say.  SO I am following
	your diagram completely.  Give netblocks adn a little more detail.

This happens automatically if ip_forwarding is on:

	GATEWAY_ENABLE="YES"

	I think you and your ISP are confused on the subnetting end.  You
	should verify your settings.  THis is really not that hard.

	OK.

	Shouldn't need this statement .104/29 is directly
	connected interface.

	This satement is wrong.  209.88.252.112 is not a network boundary
	for a /29 CIDR.  Your networks are .0/29 and .8/29.  WHat are you
	trying to do here?

	209.88.252.112/29 contains:

	  209.88.252.108 --> 209.88.252.115


> > route add -net 0.0.0.0 209.88.252.113
	
	Why is your default route going to .113?  SHouldn't it be
	209.88.252.105, the ISP?

	Look at your /etc/rc.conf file.  You should see a couple of lines:

	GATEWAY_ENABLE="YES"

> > natd?

	Not neccessary unless you want to exchange routes between
machines.  Your setup is very simple.  Static routes should not be
neccessary (Except your default gateway) and as long asip forwarding is
on (GATEWAY_ENABLE) it should work.


Also, the ISP should be holding the static routes for the following net,
within their routers, or you will have to run a Dynamic Routing package
like gated, Eitherway, make sure the ISP can get to your .112/29 network:

route add -net 209.88.252.112/29 209.88.252.6/32
