Hello, I got a lot of help from Simon in the IRC channel.
I took the Native VLAN 81 off of the switchport config on the 6509. Once that was completed, the public IP was pingable externally. We did some further digging and 8.8.8.8 was being routed out via the private network because I do not have internal DNS servers setup and I filled in 8.8.8.8 as the internal DNS servers. So, in that sense, it was thinking 8.8.8.8 wasn't going anywhere. I added a few rules and routed that 8.8.8.8 traffic it was trying to send out through to the Internet and everything began working. Again Simon and Rafael (sp) thanks for your help over the past two days. I certainly hope I was able to help someone else out in the meantime. :)
