I set up one Linux box as the gateway. Lot's of good articles on that subject,
also HOWTOs. I then tell all of my other boxes on the network to use the
gateway. So whatever box you are using that is connected to the internet, make 
that the gateway. There are a bunch of security issues there, even with a
firewall running. If you need specifics, I can dig out the mag articles, but
they are several pages long. Check out :
http://www.linux-mag.com
they may have some past articles on gateways posted on the site.
