It shouldn't be a problem to grep/sed through the config space and
modify that. Providing an 'automatic' implementation (some variables
defining the network with automatic creation/modification of files) is
of course possible, but will add code and complexity.

I run the system on exactly such a system, however there is a
M$-windows system attached to the same ADSL router/gateway I do not
want to interfere with. The only modification of the published setup
I need is modifying the external interface in /etc/network/interfaces to
read:
# The external network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.123.12 <-- available address in the 'router network'
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.123.255
gateway 192.168.123.254 <-- ADSL router IP

Providing a setup without the mainerver acting as gateway ( issue 2) )
is planed for Setup_B.
