Also, the single example I've seen did some incredibly strange stuff with the addressing (i.e. the internal interface had the same IP address as the internal interface of the external router, if I remember correctly), so don't let that catch you out if that's what you encounter.
The Watchguard Firebox has two implementation modes, one is the usual (like a router), the other a "drop-in mode". In this mode, the box acts as a bridge and thus has the same ip address on all interfaces. So the internal clients route direktly to the external router, not to the firewalls ip address; this is why you see the ip address of the external router in the internal network.
