I've never done it manually, but you can install something like Smoothwall, which is what I use. It is a small distro designed for routing with a web interface to it's many features.

If you still want to do it yourself, just google for IPTABLES + tutorial and you should turn up more than enough info.

well there is thishttp://www.linuxforums.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12424
though it is not doing it all the manual way but it might give you some ideas or a way to set it up for now till you do get around to setting it up manualy with iptables

Also do you have atleast a caching DNS server? on the LAN so the boxes on the lan can find the WAN
