Does anyone know if it is true that transparency in Gauntlet only
works when the firewall is on the same subnet as the clients?  In
other words if I have a trusted network which is down the other end of
an internal leased line, and hence on a different subnet, that
transparency will not work?

Transparency seems to work just fine for me with several different
subnets. Our configuration is a little different, though. We have several
VLANs within a Catalyst 5500 routed by an RSM. The client machines all
have default routes of their local RSM port, and then the traffic is
forwarded on to Gauntlet if it's destined for the Internet.
