Subject: Forcing IP source address?

Here's my situation:
I have a NetBSD-1.5.2 machine acting as a router. The network setup looks
approximately like this:
Ethernet LAN (A real class C subnet)
|
V
NetBSD router
|
V
Ethernet DMZ network (10.255.255.0/24)
|
V
Cisco 1605
|
V
T-1 line to the internet
The setup works great, with one exception -- the router can't make outgoing
network connections. Any connections from the router to the outside world
have a source address in the 10.255.255.0/24 range, since that's the
interface they're routed through. Incoming connections from the internet
work fine.
The IP address assigned to the same machine's internal interface is real and
routable, and if I could convince outgoing connections to use it as a
source, I think everything would work fine.
Is there a way to do this on NetBSD-1.5.2?
I've found a couple of discussions about potential solutions to similar
problems in the mailing list archives, but I didn't see anything concrete.
Thanks,
