I've set up routers before for this purpose but always of the bsd type and using their firewalls. I understand the concepts, nat, packet filtering, etc. but i'm not getting iptales at all. If anyone is an expert on this i'd appreciate hearing from you. I have what are probably basic questions, i've read the docs, but i am lost.
Wikipedia has a decent introduction:

There's a list of links to diagrams at the end to help in understanding the packet flow.
Let us know what doesn't make sense there, so the article can be adjusted.
