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.
