I am attempting to set up a firewall, and I am curious as to how I can
configure it so that when someone from the outside attempts to connect
on some port (80, for example), this request will be forwarded to a
machine on the internal network.
                              
                           ,--------,
                           | Client |
                           '--------'
                               /
                              /
                          Internet
                            / 
                           /
                     ,----------,
                     | Firewall | (public IP: a.b.c.d) 
                     '----------'
                          |
                    ,------------,
                    | Web server | (internal ip, e.g., 192.168.0.4)
                    '------------'

For example, if the client requests a page from my public IP address
(a.b.c.d), I would like this request to be handled transparently by my
internal web server.

If you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
