If I have 10.0.0.1 as my external IP on the LEAF, how would I turn off the
private-address filtering on the LEAF router's external interface.
 I am looking in /etc/ipfilters.conf and find 3 locations where RFC
1918/1627...non-routable addresses are DENIED.  One is under filtering out
Martian Source addresses.  The other 2 are under Border router stuff, 1
under the Incoming stuff and again under outgoing stuff.

I assume I should comment out all instances of this address being denied in
ipfilters.conf?

Thanks

If you do have only one real IP address, as your comments seem to suggest,
then you use it as the Cisco's external address. What to do on the inside
depends on details of the Cisco that you haven't told us. Guessing from the
little you have said, I'd think you want to turn NAT -ON- on the Cisco and
use some suitable private-address LAN (or static route) to connect it to
the LEAF router. For example, make the Cisco 10.1.1.1 and the LEAF external
port 10.1.1.2, on network 10.1.1.0/30. (Then remember to turn off
private-address filtering on the LEAF router's external interface, or use a
dropin firewall like EchoWall that handles that part for you.)

Now, as to the LEAF router ... once again, it depends on what you want the
LEAF router to do. Easiest is to run its external interface as described
above, and its internal interface as some different private-address network
(say 192.168.1.0/24) with its NAT turned on as well. This approach does a
"double NAT" of any LEAF-LAN host connection to the Internet, which might
cause some problems, but it's hard to say without more info about the
Cisco  and about what you want to do. Other options are to turn standard
NAT off on the LEAF router, then use static-NAT, or proxy arp, or
modification of the Cisco's routing table to connect the LEAF LAN to the
Internet. Again, we'd need to know more about the Cisco to discuss the
relative merits of these approaches.
