Once upon a time Jason Hatch shaped the electrons to say...
>> 1. what is 206.72.205.0? Is it their C class?
>Yes, it is...

Thought so.

>> 2. What is 206.72.196.1?
>That's my router -- the IRX...

I suspected as much.

You can't do this - you can't assign a local interface to be the gateway in
a static route.

>> 3. What interface should their network be reachable through?
>Ether0. He's connected to our ethernet, but he's not on our network.
>His machines can't talk to our router...

Thought so.

>What can we do to get his machines talking to our router?

You need to have a dual homed machine that can see *both* networks. Then
you can assign the static route using *that* machine as the gateway.
