Quite right!  I'll have to change that, darn spelling.<>

Sorry, just redacting.

I figured a lot of my problems.  The default route, 172.20 route, all 
comming from my firewall script!  This is what you get for using a 
script building program - you don't know exactly what the script is 
doing!  Not that I could ever build a script by hand...
I certainly picked up a lot of knowledge regarding network scripts, etc.....

My routes are ok now, that I've fixed my firewall scripts etc.  I've 
learned as well, restarting iptables isn't the correct way to restart 
the script, but rather do it via network restart.

Thanks for everyone's help.  Gonna test my script some more, document my 
settings in a notebook, and do it all over again for the production install.
