Hi,
Routing is done by the kernel, so it is only
required to enable it.
Assuming that your kernel has been compiled
with routing capability, your
proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward containing 1
does
that.
But I assume that routing is working, otherwise
your LAN would not have access to the Internet.
You could check whether your "ping" is going out
the external interface by
tcpdump -i eth1
If you have an ADSL connection, the outgoing
packets are ppp, so it is better to use
tcpdump -i ppp0
My guess is that your problem is at the
firewall. I will suggest you to add logging to your firewall rules,
where packets might be droped.
Also it is a good idea to add catchall logging rules, before
packets fall into the default policy DROP.
Good luck!
Julio

Sorry, all my servers are running linux with the 2.4.25 kernel. I am
running the firewall as stated on the openvpn HOWTO. should I be running some
routing between NIC's ?
