Sorry Michael, but you are spreading old news here.

Smoothwall Express 3.0, which was released almost 3 years ago 
supports up to 4 subnets, covering exactly your configuration. And 
Smoothwall Express 4.0, though not likely publicly available before 
end of the year, might even level that "restriction" (if it is one in 
the first place)...
