    Not a big deal:

    1) Plug in and configure additional network cards and use different networks for the NICs
    2) Enable forwarding
    3) Enable masquerading (needed if your router should connect local systems with local IPs to the internet)
    4) Configure your firewall to allow traffic between the NICs

    Optional:
    1) Configure a local nameserver (bind)
    2) Configure a local proxy (squid)
    3) Configure a local socks (dante)
