Yeah, that's what I see.  From the OP:

only the request.

Doing this makes sense now that you describe it.  I thought the firewall 'knew' 
about its own interfaces & IPs and didn't need that.  I changed

> #  /etc/shorewall/masq

> eth0                     172.16.1.10

and restarted, but after doing that, there's no change in the result.  Just the 
'request', with no 'reply'.

What I'm doing is just step by step getting the simplest things working 1st 
before I graduate to a full setup.  So for now it's just show I can ping to the 
outside world from each IP address on my host.
