I don't really understand what this proxy client is doing. What sort of 
proxy is it?

Is there any chance of you getting a third network card and assigning it 
the address 10.11.57.4 so that you could use the FC2 box as your DHCP 
server (it would have a presence on both 192.168.x.x networks) but would 
route "proxy" traffic down the 10.x.x.x interface, away from the 
wireless nets?

Paul.
