You could run natd, (or whatever you're currently running... making a general assumption here), on the interface which you want to be able to access everything from except port 80/21. Then just run squid on the other interface. This will setup a networked http/ftp cache, which will not only allow you to 'route' only http/ftp traffic, but also cache the traffic and save on bandwidth. dependant upon the installation, caching can save sometimes 30-50% of your bandwidth. I've been running a 1Gig cache here now for like almost 8months, and it's made a HUGE difference; not to mention made things a little more secure :) Of course, I suppose if you wanted just strict routing, you could still just setup some simple IPFW rules to disallow port 80/21 on one interface, and nothing but on the other. However, if by 'routing 21', you intend to allow you're LAN access to FTP sites, then you may want to do some reading up on FTP. FTP once connected, uses many ports to communicate.
