It depends on several things you haven't told us.
First, do you already have the "dialup" machine set up as a router? I'll
assume you do.
Second, is it doing firewalling &/or Masq'ing now? Probably.
Third, what kernel is it using? 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels are VERY different
in how they handle all routing/firewalling.NAT'ing stuff.
Assming my guesses are right about 1 and 2, you use either ipportfw (2.0.x)
or ipmasqadm (2.2.x) to set this up. An example ipfwadm entry would be:
ipportfw -A -t 1.2.3.4 /80 -R 192.168.1.42/80
(replacing 1.2.3.4 with the external interface address and 192.168.1.42 with
the internal address of your Web server).
The man pages for ipfwadm or ipmasqadm will give you useful help, as will
the various HowTos: Firewall, Ipchains, IP Masquerading, I think Ipfwadm.
