I don't know if you really need to get new hardware just for this if you've
already got the NICs, you'll just have to spend a little time (probably)
learning IPChains. There are very few ipchains "wrappers" that handle more
than one internal NIC (that I know of), and unless you want to fork out the
money for a switch instead of a hub, you'll probably get better performance
with multiple NICs. :)
Now I know this is blasphemy here on the mandrake list, but you may want to
check out one of the router-on-a-floppy distributions (LRP/Coyote Linux,
FREESCO, etc.) and see if that works better for you, too. And hey, if it
does work, you can always rip apart the floppy distro's set up and see how
they set up IPChains. ;)
