	Why do you have your network plugged into a Linux Box and then
	into a Cisco? Why not just straight into the Cisco's Ethernet?


(LAN)---->(eth1/LRP Router/eth0)----->(Cisco/Internet/VPN)



	Overall, I don't see why you would experience poor performance from
your LRP Router with those configs. My only wonder is if you might have
some Shorewall Firewall configs setup incorrectly that is causing the problem.
In your Network Design, seems like the LRP Router isn't doing much except
as a possible firewall.
