I apologize for the irregularity if my question.   That said, it looked
like the simplest fix is the right one here.  Your first point about
''IP_FORWARDING=Yes'' not being enabled in debian by default was
the right
one.  Now routing to the Internet FROM the LAN connection is working and
is being load-balanced properly.  Only problem I am having now is using
One-to-One NAT.  I wish there was a more concise guide to setting up
One-to-One NAT in shorewall, because the guide in the docs is not very
helpful.  I know what I want to achieve, but I''m not sure how to do it.
That may end up being another email though.

But I just wanted to say thank you for the informative and helpful
response to my question.  You guys seem to have great support!
