Yes, the cisco knows that everything going to the net 208.53.164.0 goes
through the linux.

I did a traceroute from one of the clients to cisco's website ip:

1st hop --> 208.53.164.254
2nd hop --> Time out
3d --> Time out
and so on

while doing this i sniffed with ethereal:

source            dest 
 
208.53.164.2      208.53.98.254(dns)           standard query ptr 
208.53.164.2      208.53.98.254(dns)           destination unreachable
208.53.164.2      198.133.219.25               echo ping request
