There is nothing special about the Road Runner service.  TWC
provides addresses via DHCP.  The firewall will need two network
cards.  The external card (the one hooked up to your cable modem)
should have dhcp enabled, both in /etc/network/interfaces [1] and
in the options column of /etc/shorewall/interfaces [2].  Just start
with the Bering 1.0-stable image, and follow the instructions in
the Bering installation and user's guides:

  http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/binstall.html
  http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/busers.html

If I recall correctly, the two-interface setup with dhcp on the
external interface is the Bering default so you shouldn't have to
change much.  If you get stuck or have any specific questions,
send your questions to the leaf-user list.  (It would be a good
idea to read the Support Request FAQ linked to at the bottom of
this message before posting.)  Good luck.
