Raw message 

OK

Grase WAN IP 108.58.119.14 255.255.255.248 (public IP)
LAN 192.168.10.1 255.255.252.0
DHCP serving .10 addresses

Router
192.168.10.9 255.255.255.0
LAN 192.168.205.1 255.255.252.0
DHCP serving .205 addresses
Turned off NAT

So I know I did something wrong because I could not get the login page. 
 Turned off DHCP on Router couldn't get an IP.  Could ping the server 
without issue and router said the Grase box was reachable.

So my plan of centralizing went poof.  I ended up making the grase box 
customer facing until I could find a solution.

Yes I am not a network guy but I can program some and added a paypal 
component to grase (not beautiful but works).
