This isn't an exact answer, but might be relevant. Back in the day, I
had a BSD/pf firewall/router to convert the IP my ISP gave me into
192.168.100.0/24. Then I took a second BSD/pf box, and routed
192.168.100.249 to 192.168.200.0/24. It worked just fine. Computers on
both 100 and 200 were properly natted to get to the Internet. I wrote
about it here:
