Install all the cards and such, compile the modules, get ethernet working
on all the machines. Then set up ppp on one machine. Compile IPMASQ and
IPForwarding support in modules or in the kernel. Set up forwarding rules
for each internal ip, such as:
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.2/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.3/32 -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -p deny
I put them in a file, such as /usr/bin/startipmasq. (This is on the ppp
machine).
Set up networking on the other machines (/etc/init.d/network) so that it
uses the ppp machine as a gateway. 10.0.0.* and 192.168.1.* both work as
internal-only IP ranges.
You may also want to get midentd which allows you to set up ident to work
through ipmasq.
