That's because none of the machines on the outside world know how to route packets to your boxes. They are receiving packets from a machine known to them in the '10.0.1.0' domain, and don't know that the route to that address if from your FreeBSD box. Either you have to have your FreeBSD setup as a proxy host (so all the packets appears to be coming from your FreeBSD box), or you have to get valid IP addresses from your ISP and use them on your other boxes.
