there's several things to resolve, and probably a few more that
are beyond my awareness -- but here's what i'd look for:
1) modconf -> ipv4 -> select and install ip-masq modules that
look like they'd help with what you're after.
2) apt-get install ipmasq ... it'll take much of the worry and
sweat out of configuring your firewall rules.
3) keep reading and soon someone will continue this thread
showing where i'm all wet.
