Your FreeBSD machine would be your internal network's gateway.
Your FreeBSD box will need to be gateway_enabled; and you'd have
ppp running, possibly:
ppp -alias -auto your_isp_entry
Other combinations are possible, eg: ppp+natd+ipfw
The other machines on your network will need to have their
default gateway/route set to your FreeBSD box. Any packet seen by the
FreeBSD box not on your internal 10.10.10.x network will cause it to
dial out.
