Sounds OK, it should be just the same in theory as with a modem except
instead of the ppp0 (modem)interface you have a second eth (ethernet)
interface, eth1 on the firewall box.
When you had the modem it would have been the modem itself that had the
external "real" IP address.
I have a box that acts as a kind of firewall - one interface is ppp0 a
USB modem with a real fixed IP address and the other is eth0 an ethernet
card with a 192.168... IP address. And the other box accesses the
internet via this using IP masquerading.
Then I think if you want several IP addresses coming in to your eth1
external interface you can have virtual interfaces eth1, eth1:0, eth1:1,
etc.
