Thanks very much for the suggestion.  This was indeed something I missed and
will make a note of.

I set /etc/sysctl.conf, rebooted, and confirmed that
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward contained "1", but I still can't do a ping -I
192.168.1.1 10.1.1.1 nor a traceroute -i eth1 10.1.1.1.

I hope it's just one other minor piece I'm missing.

Thanks,

-Ian
