I'm not familiar with "multihome"ing, and Google Searching isn't being
overly helpful at the moment.  Several hits, but to nothing that's helping
me relate this concept to the problem at hand.

Why does DNS get involved here?  How does "multihome"ing help with placing
routes where needed?

That's precisely what I'm trying to do (though I set the Tux box as a DMZ,
so as not to have to deal with forwarding specific ports... why have to
configure things in two places?).  What I don't understand is how
"multihome"ing will help me here.
