I'm looking for suggestions on what to run to do this.

I have one computer that connects to my ISP (NetBSD-current, of
course), with a single, fixed IP#.  I have two other machines (one
Windows NT, and one NetBSD) behind it, which I would like to gateway
through it.  However, with only this single IP# to the outside world.

I think that means I need to run some kind of firewall and/or proxy
server.  I don't think socks will be sufficient, since it doesn't
transparently proxy my NT box, through the NetBSD gateway, to the
world.

I've never paid much attention to this before, so I'm not sure where
to start looking.  Suggestions?
