This is not what you really want to do...see below

You have almost perfectly defined a proxy-arp based DMZ, which is easily
supported with Dachstein.  I run several of these personally in similar
circumstances (except I have SDSL instead of T1 :< )

> How to configure this with Dachstein-CD ???

See the DMZ comments inline in network.conf.  Basically:

wan1_PROXY_ARP=YES
wan1_ROUTES=<DEFAULT_GW>
<intern>_PROXY_ARP=YES
<intern>_ROUTES="x.y.z.64/26"

DMZ_SWITCH=PROXY
DMZ_EXT_ADDRS="<DEFAULT_GW> <EXTERN_IP>"
DMZ_OPEN_DEST= <as required>

Your one problem may be that the WAN interface doesn't support proxy-arp...I
don't know if they send ARP packets down the T1 or not.  This may not
matter, however, as I think the kernel will do the right thing with the
packets as long as they actually make it to the interface.  Since the T1
link will probably recieve all packets anyway (is there a non-promiscuous
mode for a T1 interface?), I think you'll be OK.

Let me know how this works out...I can only talk to our T1 through an aging
Cisco 4000 that can't even ssh (IOS 11.2...but it does do nice protocol
based priority queueing :)
