Well with one NAT server (btw, I don't see why you don't NAT on both Gws
if they are OpenBSD boxen or put invisible NATing bridges ahead of
each), I think you should advice the customer to kick the ass of the
fscking network(s) architect(s) who came up with this. Somebody down the
food chain is really really clueless. 

Man. Why people enjoy complexity so much ?
