Now my network engineering is far from perfect (anyone have a network
engineering intership for summer 2001?  I do sysadmin and a little
coding also...:) but it looks like the problem is that if the firewall
is acting as a router (as opposed to a bridge, you don't say) then it
will be seeing  both its interfaces plus the router as being in the
1.2.3.192/29 subnet and is thus sending everything to fxp1.  Or maybe
I'm just nuts...

Can you reach the router from the firewall?  I say this because the
default of fxp0 will let you get things off your net, but the router may
be another story...
