And before anybody else notices the big chunk that I left out, Eric is not
running dhcpcd.  That client has been replaced by 'dhclient'.  You need to
run that on your Internet interface to get the IP configuration info from
your ISP (with the hook that I gave before to ignore the resolv.conf
part).  If you want the machines on your internal intranet to be
configured via dhcp, then you may run 'dhcpd' on the internal network
interface to serve them.

Hope I didn't cause too much confusion before.
