Using something like pynetd (http://ftp.tummy.com/pub/tummy/pynetd/) on
the firewall will allow you to do port-forwarding in to the internal
machine.  It's quite easy to configure, just set up the config file
to say "Connections on port 80 forward to port 80 on this other host".

Other mechanisms are using the ipmasqadmin stuff (probably requiring a
kernel rebuild and likely tools rebuilt as well), RNAT, and others.

We'd be happy to help you if you need.  Give us a call or e-mail tomorrow
