[ale] Netflix on Linux

[Richard Bronosky]

Sounds like you are doing this at home. Based on your description, I
would suggest modifying your routing table to allow your MSFT boxen to
access the internet THROUGH one of your Linux boxen. That solves the
"no internet facing MSFT boxen" requirement. As for running Netflix
on/within Linux... not today. Hopefully soon.
