You realy should read the IP-Masquerade-HOWTO, as you will need a lot of
the information in there.  Turning on IP forwarding by itself will not
do what you want.  But to turn it on, you can run
"sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1".  This is usualy run as part of your
firewall script.  You can also turn it on at boot by editing
/etc/sysctl.conf, and changing "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0" to
"net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1".
