I don't know if it will help, butmaybe you should investigate the 'mpd'
port. (multi-link ppp daemon) Us this in conjunction with natd to get
a general purpose version of what you are doing....

I dont want to route all the LAN traffic through the server, just the server traffic itself, so i dont know if natd is the answer, but I have a suspicion it lies in there somewhere with IP masquerading or IP firewalling or IP divert..?
