Just enable ip forwarding, and setup a default route on your DEC.
At this point the DEC will forward anything; now you have to setup IPF
rules to block packets you don't want to come in or out.

/etc/rc.conf to enable IP forwarding and ipf, /etc/mygate to specify the
default router, /etc/ipf.conf for rules filterings.

I don't really understand your setup. le0 is the outside interface and le1
the inside. So your linux PC should be on the same network as le1 (OK) but
le0 should be on a different network.
