I really do not understand why you do not want all traffic to go through
your firewall. A firewall is supposed to shield off any unwanted traffic
to ever enter the internal network, which is only accomplised, if all
traffic _must_ go through the firewall.
This could be accomplished simply by connecting your external interface
on the firewall directly to the T1 entry point, and the switch/hub to
the internal network interface.
The "diagnostic purposes" you are talking about are rendered useless
with the configuraion you are describing - not to mention the _serious_
degradation of your network.
