IIRC if there's only one machine in the middle, two cards, and no routing
between them no packets from either side will get further than the machine
in quetion. Size / shape / netmasks are not important .
192.168.7.0/24 -> Moo (192.168.7.0/25 - eth0) <No route> dies ...
192.168.7.0/24 -> Moo (192.168.7.128/25 - eth1) <No route> dies ...
AFAIK This will be true for any values of outside net and inside net as long
as there is no routing and physical seperation of the networks (excluding
Moo)
