I don't know of one on the "net" (i hate that term), but here goes: 1) Build a PC with two ethernet cards 2) Install Debian. 3) Install kernel-package and kernel-source packages 4) Compile new kernel; make sure IP masq is enabled. 5) Make sure second ethernet card is enabled and configured 6) Install ipmasq package 7) reboot It's that easy :) You may install other services as you see fit.
