IP Firewalling, IP Masquerading, probably a couple others, but they are the
main ones. Then you DHCP the external interface of the firewall, and set
internal interfaces on the two machines to 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x
Don't use fast switching (I think that's what it's called) since this
requires two valid IPs, which will cost you money. If you can't figure out
the firewalling code, I'll look through my .config
