Andy,

Thanks for your efforts, especially as you're dealing with someone as dense as 
me.

On the test machine (call it box 3 in the diagram), I changed the ip to be 
75.x.x.28, netmask 255.255.255.248, network 75.x.x.24.  I set the gateway to be 
75.x.x.25 (eth3 address on the firewall/router).  I can't ping anything.

At this point, is it a firewall rule issue?  If so, what is/are the rule(s) I 
need to add?

If I had my choice, though, I'd rather assign an address of 192.168.1.x to the 
test machine (as with the rest of the devices in the DMZ), and make it use the 
WAN2 connection instead of WAN1 that the other devices are using.

Hope I'm not being too much of a pita here.

Dimitri
