The file protocol will get routed through the firewall (dependent, of
course, on firewall setup), but you won't be able to browse servers through
the firewall (browsing still depends on appletalk).

A tad more info might help here.

In Appletalk, zones and net numbers are defined by seed routers. It sounds
like you've got a seed router on the subnet someplace. If you want to be
in a different existing zone, you can specify this in your atalkd.conf (or,
on the
mac in the appletalk control panel). If you want to create a new zone,
you'll need to talk to whoever is administering the seed router for the
network.

The asun patches implement AppleShare/IP. Netatalk classic is
appletalk-only. So you need to apply the patches in order to get
appleshare/ip running. In addition, you'll need a few lines in your
/etc/services file, and you'll need to be sure that you've got fairly
recent appleshare clients.
What version of MacOS and what version of the appleshare client are you
using on the workstations?
