Yes, that is how I configured it to begin with. No DHCP for this 
particular network, only 3 computers - dmz (on the firewall), and two 
computers. They all ping each other and reply to each other just fine, 
EXCEPT that the BSD box will not ping out to the other boxes. It WILL 
respond to a ping from the other boxes though.
