Hi

If you only need routing (without masquerading) then edit '/etc/network
options' and set this line:
ip_forward=yes

this will route the traffic from the different networks. however, if you
need masquerading (e.g. you have one computer connected to the internet and
some computers behind it) then use iptables. there is a nice application
called 'shorewall' that you can use to easily configure it.
