Yes.

But you need a network route to .249 netmask 255.255.255.248 on the
gateway.

How does one enter network routes under NT? I haven't the foggiest.
Under BSD you would say on your internal lan's gateway:

route add -net 204.101.15.248 -netmask 255.255.255.248 204.101.15.249

Don't forget, that you have to set up your cisco to route to the freebsd
(or NT gateway/router), or you have to use proxy-arp.

Why can't this be done with Samba and radiusd under BSD?

Ok. so you need to tell them to route .248 -netmask 255.255.255.248 via
the local ethernet's ip address of the gateway.

You could always hire me :)  

Especialy if you make it possible for me to leave California!!!
