What you can do, is take the firewall and map a specific port to the IP address of one
of the local machines... I'm not familiar with the Linux Firewall (yet), but I'm sure
you can map something like port 23 to IP address 192.168.0.110 or something like
that.  I ran behind a home firewall like that for a while (for incoming telnet...)...
That should work under Linux as well.

HTH,
