Check out:
	Red Hat Linux 6.X as an Internet Gateway for a Home Network
	http://www.coastnet.com/~pramsey/linux/homenet.html

	IP Masquerading HOWTO
	http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO.html

In the latter doc, it looks like it puts that kind of stuff in
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall .  See section 3, "Setting Up IP Masquerade".

Cheers,
