A simpler approach would be to take a Linux box, include two
network cards and enable routing.  If you did this, you might
want to use iptables as a firewall on either or both of the
interfaces.

If you want to do this, netmasq provides an easy way to configure
the firewall with iptables.  http://www.carltm.com/netmasq/
