Tom,

Thanks for your help.  Sorry my explanation was lame.

Each of these Remote A, Remote B, and Remote C are separate networks in
different and remote locations.  

B only has one ethernet card because the ISP has a router with nat
translation directed to its ethernet card.  ie the IP address of B is
10.0.0.x internally and the router translates the external 64.70.99.20
to 10.0.0.x.  

Remote A and Remote C have two internet cards each.  One card is
connected to the internet and the other card is connected to the local
lan at each site.  With A and C all traffic is required to go through
them to reach the internet.  With B I route all traffic through it, but
the traffic is not required to go through it.  

Each of these networks has a different isp, and their own gateway ie (A,
B, and C).  I am getting ready to change isp on B and when that happens
it will become a two ethernet card machine as well but before I switch I
would like to be able to get cups to work behind a two ethernet card
system.  

I use a subnet on the local network behind A, B, and C of 10.0.0.*.

In essence I can easily get cups to work on a subnet behind a gateway
that functions with the same subnet (B), but I can not get cups to work
on a subnet on the inside of a gateway that has an external ip on a
different subnet than the interal lan (A and C).

Sure appreciate your help!!!
