The stock redhat kernel has IP forwarding compiled in, in fact everything you
need to do this is already there. You do however have to ENABLE IP forwarding.
The easiest way to do it is to open up X, run the "netcfg" program, choose the
"routing" tab, and the first option on the next window is to "enable IP packet
forwarding". Just click it on and reboot. You will still need to add the
proxyarp option as Clifford said.
