The PI shoul run ipchains/iptables, and do MASQ or NAT for the LAN. Set up the ADSL connection on PI normally (static, DHCP, PPPOE, whatever your ISP uses), and then set that box up to MASQ for the LAN. There are several good howto's available on the subject. eth1 (the internal NIC) should be set up with a static 192.168.x.x address (not x.x.x.0 or x.x.x.255, though), and all the other boxes will use that address as their gateway. Works pretty transparently here. If that's not enough info, write back. There are packages available for this in the archive, IIRC, ipmasq and such.
