In /etc/rc.conf set

router_enable="YES"

Then you need to fix the netmasks on the two cards.  Your rc.conf
lines should look like

ifconfig_ed0="inet 206.117.19.2 netmask 255.255.255.252" #0-4, 1&2 usable
ifconfig_ed1="inet 206.117.19.126 netmask 255.255.255.192" #64-127, 65-126 usable

Notice that you will lose almost half of your address space doing this.
