This is almost certainly a V5 Linksys, so Linux won't fit.  Not that I'm
probably welcome to re-flash it anyway.

I will probably get around to playing with this on one of my personal V4
WRT54GSs, but I'm disinclined to give one of these to the company, given
how hard it has been for me to find them.  (I'd really like to own a V3,
the last max memory model, but I haven't seen one.)

I'm not sure how the DMZ helps.  Then both routers are exposed to internet
traffic directly, so must run firewalls and NAT.  Then how does the wired
guy on 192.168.0.100 access the tomcat server on 192.168.1.109?

The linksys has a DMZ port, but, again, I don't see how this helps.  Everyone
can already access the internet.
