I am by no means an expert with routing, firewalls, etal. However have you
considered the Linux Router Project (LRP)? I think it can do what you want from

fit on one floppy disk), will run on a 486 on up and a lot more. A good place
to start is:

Since you now have static IPs, my guess, it should be easy.
