I would like to use a linux box as a router for 10 clients so they can
share a 2 mbps adsl connection. I have two network cards (eth0, eth1)
installed in the linux box. eth1 is connected with my adsl-modem and
is always online the other is connected to my local network:

eth0: 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
eth1: 80.160.199.114/255.255.255.252 through gateway 80.160.199.113
(sending and recieving packets to the world)

So far so good. What do I need to do to allow the 10 clients on
192.168.0.x to access the world? I suspect the keywords are
ip-forwarding, masquerading etc. but to be honest I'm very confused
about these concepts there is so much information on the internet
about these subjects that I don't know where to start :(
Can someone spill the golden pearls for me, or just push me in the
right direction?
