Of course it is.....I would recommend recompiling the kernel , there are
several options you may wanna be sure of, (fast NAT - if using NAT ,
support for large routing tables, check out http://www.linuxrouter.org/) ,
for the firewall issues checkout http://netfilter.samba.org .
I would also intall ntop on that box ...
Basically you can just do
router# echo "1" >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
And ip forwarding will be enabled ... if all other configurations (NIC's,
IP's etc....) are ok.
Cheers
