[K12OSN] OT - Linux router - I'm stuck <-long

Thanks Les and Chrisopher.   The route to the 10.*  interface on the DO 
router got it working and now I wonder if the machines in the DO 
wouldn't have worked all the time since they are on the 172.16.96.0 
network.  :)  oh well

I like the route simplification below also.  I'll try that before I put 
these machine back.

I'm tempted to turn on dhcp for each of the buildings since that would 
make management of the whole system so much easier.  We had to get 
students to help for 3 hours to change the 395 workstations in the 
schools.  If we had dhcp that wouldn't have been needed.

I'll setup a few more test machines tomorrow as client machines on the 
different networks and see if I can't wrap this up friday or so. 

Your help was very much appreciated!
