Good idea on the DNS setting on the NIC. Thanks for that. I'll do that
for the one with the DG when I switch it to the DMZ.

I've managed many static routes (including on UAG 2010), so that's not
a problem.

But, I've noticed that Win2k8 R2 didn't seem to like it when I added
them via netsh - I probably used the wrong incantation for my UAG
machine, and ended up using the old route command I know and love. Got
a tip for me there?
