Hi You could use IP masquerading, but why dont you use squid as a proxy and "protect" your local machines from the Internet without IP forwarding. So they just look at the linux box as a proxy and cannot actually ping the Internet.

Please advise me how to do it. Of course I have installed two ethernet cards in my Linux machine. I can ping from the internal node to the outside ethernet card's IP address of the Linux gateway, but I failed to reach the real outside IP from the internal nodes. Also I have a puzzle, since the virtual address is not used in the Internet. How can the internal node get response from the outside node it is pinging? Any help would be appreciated.
