 If you'ld use a public IP for eth0 on the router the router itself couldn't 
be talking to the outside world, so masquerading would fail. I am not sure if 
plain routing would work, although I think this might work if the Cisco 
supports routing local addresses. They might be designed to prevent this 
though (just an idea).
 If using local IP addresses between the Cisco and the Linux router does work, 
you could setup masquerading a level deeper. In that case one of the machines 
connected to the Linux router could be the masquerading firewall. You could 
build yourself a nice tree.

                                        Bye,

                                        Leonard.
