This is incorrect. He can add a routing entry to server A -- something
along the lines of:
192.168.3.0/24 via 172.17.232.x
The ".x" will have to be whatever IP address serverB has on the 172
network. Once serverA knows how to get to "network_BC" (i.e.
192.168.3.0/24), serverB will no longer need to perform any NAT.
ServerA will still handle masquerade for all traffic exiting eth0 to the
internet, and the internet will be none the wiser.
