Just wanted to follow up on this for others searching through the archives.

I ended up getting IPtables setup (by hand) correctly, and using a
simpler approach. I ended up doing the following in /etc/conf.d/net:

config_eth0=("dhcp")
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"
config_eth1=("192.168.2.1/24")
config_eth2=("192.168.3.1/24")

and just left it at that. May be I'll revisit things in the future to
get the separation of wired and wireless clients. Unfortunately, I had
an issue come up that I needed to get the new server up and running
pretty quickly - and didn't get to doing all the tests I wanted before
going live. Needless to say, it works and I'm quite sufficiently
protected (no services live to Internet).

Any how...thanks to all who helped me in the thread. The conversation
provided quite a bit of insight into Gentoo and thinking through the
issue too. ;-)

Thanks!

Ben
