There was some problems, yes.
The main problem was due to the fact that we already had a workable nat system, where the various computers had static IPs, configured by static dhcp configuration,using bind9 as dns server and a working SQUID server.
installing GRASE and it's various dependencies resulted in the network going down. For some reason the instructions we followed where not clear on the fact that this system overrules the existing system. It takes DOWN the local network, and replace it with it's own configuration. Meaning the existing network on 192.168.x.x no longer worked.

We used about half an hour or so to figure out that we aren't supposed to configure anything else but installing grase.
The instructions and/or FAQ should say something about this.
