    no, that was a typo. the address was in fact 10.0.0.25.
    turned out it *was* the cable between Lilith and hub 2 after all.
    sounds unbelievable (to me at least), but through all the shuffling
    of the components, this cable must have remained a constant.

    I'm sorry about the wasted time.

    since Lilith is meant as a replacement for the Linux box, I'm going
    to set up ipnat on her instead. it's just a plain bimap ATM.
