I know you can set up Linux as a firewall/gateway/NAT, allowing you to share an Internet connection with several clients. But is it also possible to set it up so that you can have, for example, a web server behind the firewall, and allow users on the Internet to access the web server (much like Windows 2000 ICS and NAT) via the one public IP? Do you use ipchains?

Thanks for help in advance I am a newbie to linux.
