In the base case, the external network link will be a single interface
on the Linux box and that same host will be designated as the default
gateway for all the other hosts on another interface.

So, with eth0 on the internal network and eth1 the external link,
you only need to have a route for the local network to eth0 and a
default route to eth1 (gateway as necessary).

For more information, try the following or post more detail to
the list.
