eth0 is on the WAN/internet side?

That looks okay; hopefully nothing is missing.

That should work.

Good.

Well, I'm not sure.  I've always just used the ipmasq package.

You could try
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

To apply this permanently put the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

If that doesn't work, maybe someone else knows how.  I'm sure you can do it 
with nothing more than Linux + iptables, but I don't know how.
