Does NAT allow one to do ethernet translation? 

E.g., I have a box with two ethernet adapters (ed0 and ed1). ed0 is connected 
to the internet and is only allowed to use one IP address. ed1 is connected to 
a local network with all local IP addresses (for instance, in the 10 A class 
range).

Can the box to some conversion (linux can), so the users connected at ed1 can 
enter the internet using my box?

Thanks,
