This looks like a job for IP Masquerading!
I've written a short man page on masquerading, available from
ftp://ftp.csua.berkeley.edu/pub/lim/masquerading.4
Please oh please oh please, anyone who knows about masquerading and
firewalling read it and tell me if anything is wrong...
Note that masquerading requires a 1.3.x kernel and ipfw, the latter of
which comes with very recent (beta) net-tools. Last I was told,
net-tools could be found at
ftp://ftp.inka.de/pub/Linux/networking/net-tools/
ipfwadm, a better ipfw, might have support for masquerading in the
future (I'm just about to submit changes):
