Hmmm... DHCP isn't the tool you'ld use for providing this sort of
functionality.

Unless you have a very peculiar setup, chances are the acronym you
need is NAT.  Read this:

   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/natd.html

which should clarify things for you.  There have been plenty of
articles on this and other FreeBSD mailing lists on this topic which
should help you.  Knowing the right terminology should make searching
the 'net for relevant material much easier too.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
