Ok... got it half working now. The front end of it (cable modem to eth0) is working and I have internet connectivity. The back end (eht1 to hub) is working also, the dhcp server is setup and I can ping the pc's. The problem was that I had the wrong nic provisioned. That shouldn't have really mattered, as I should have been able to switch my configuration to have eth1 up front (connected to cable modem) and eth0 connected to my lan. It simply refused to work that way.
I had the correct nic provisioned this morning, the box now has internet connectivity, but I didn't have time to finish sharing it out (wife was nagging me about being late for work).
Thanks everyone, especially with the DHCPD config.
