A simple way to do this is to have separate DNS servers serving the same zones, one for the "outside" and one for the "inside." When Internet systems do an MX query for your mail domain(s), they get the address of your Debian SMTP gateway. Your gateway box should use the inside DNS system for que

Steve, I think you may be happier (i.e. spend less time working on this) if you can drum up a copy of "redir" or "transproxy" for your Cobalt Cube. Both of these are stable tools that I used quite heavily before the Linux kernel incorporated a true DNAT (2.4) or port-forwarding (hacked into 2.2).

I'd recommend the former (firewalling on each server). This will let you customize the firewall for that server alone, and spread the packet filtering load and logging. Also, with no access the Cisco box, you'd have to either MASQ or SNAT with proxy arps if you do insert a firewall into the packe
