Well my reason for not giving is that it is a public IP and does not have
any firewalls in place. This exposes my server much more to unauthorized
"visit"

Anyway...lets get down to getting this done.

I am on RH Linux 8
uname -a is Linux 2.4.18
netstat -nr gives
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U
eth1
xxx.xxx.xxx.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U eth0
127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
U lo
0.0.0.0 xxx.xxx.xxx.1 0.0.0.0 UG eth0

ifconfig gives me that eth0, eth1 and lo are correctly configured.

ip_forward gives a "1"

What do the gurus say???

I don't understand why, unless for some reason you think that your IP
address is a secret. Once you start using the address for any purpose, it
will be known to everyone you deal with, after all.

Even if you are that secretive, we do need to know a couple of things about
the address. One, is it a public IP address? Two, is it on a different
network (probably what you call a "subnet") from the internal, LAN
interface? If we don't know at least that much information reliably, then
we won't be able to eliminate, or spot, some possible sources of your
problem.
