It's not off topic, but more information will be needed in order to help
you.  

- What kernel are you running? (2.2.x or 2.4.x)
- What tool are you trying to use? (ipchains or iptables)
- What steps have you taken so far?

Forwarding the internal machines out and allowing their responses in will
most likely be no problem.  However the reverse gets a bit tricky.  With
only one external IP, there is little to no way to know what internal
machine an external request is for unless the internal machine initiated
communication.  It is possible to route external requests to a dedicated
internal machine.
