But how does the Linux Box get the IP-Adress of the ISP ? You would need
it on the linux box if you want to run nat there ...
I would run nat only on the Cisco1720. The router just has to translate
the outside IP of the linux box to the public IP assigned by the ISP.
Assuming you disable routing on the linux box and you will use proxy-
services (squid, socks5, fwtk) to provide controlled internet access
to the users.
