I agree, except it's my understanding that bilbo, the machine that can
ping the Internet, is not on the cluster side of the network, but on
the other, or as Dave calls it, the "home" side. So if that's correct,
then the only machines that can't ping the Internet are on the cluster
network, behind buster. Since buster can ping the "home" network, the
"cluster" network, and the Internet, that led me to believe that only
forwarding is the problem with that machine.
Of course, I could still be wrong =)
