Subject:   Using Free BSD to do proxy routing

I have a local TCP network using a 192.168... addressing scheme as per =
the convention for non internet networks.  One of these nodes is a BSD =
PC which also has a PPP 203.17... connection into the internet.

I would like the other hosts to be able to web browse, telnet, ftp etc =
without spilling 192.168 packets into the outside world.  Can things be =
set up so that the BSD PC does proxy requests on behalf of the other =
nodes ?

I read information about 'routed' which I have set to '-q' on my BSD PC. =
 I also see references to 'gated' but their appears to be no man page.  =
The PPP software seems to let me filter everything in sundry but I don't =
spy any information about proxy routing.

I imagine my scenerio is a very common one.  Could someone please fill =
me in on how to go about achieving the above.

Regards,
Greg Laslett.
