	Okay (drumming fingers), let me redraw my diagram to make sure I'm
asking the right question.  :)

[ Internet ]  [ Internet ]
     |               |
[ router1 ]   [ router2 ]
     |               |
     --------------
          |
[ m0n0wall WAN = IP from subnet1 ]
[ m0n0wall OPT1 = bridged to WAN ]
     |
[ subnet1 or subnet 2 ]

Where router1 = subnet1, router2 = subnet2.  I'm not looking for load
balancing or anything, just thinking through the possibilities of using one
m0n0wall instead of two.
