Robert,
I have been using gshield for a couple of years now and I really like
it. It has an easy to understand config file that will give you the
options you are looking for. There is a seperate script for creating
forwarding rules, gforward.pl, from the web site. Take a little time to
read the docs and it should be clear.
The web site has all the good detail.
http://muse.linuxmafia.org/gshield.html
It is packaged in Debian testing at gshield_2.8-10_i386.deb. For me, it
went right into my stable machines with no problems.
There are several other packages around so don't be afriad to try
several a find the one that fits you.
