Win2000 as a Router

[nettamer]

I have a web server and an email server visible to the internet(addresses: 125.0.0.3 & 125.0.0.4). However, I am trying to isolate the rest of the internal LAN from the internet by using private addresses (addresses: 10.0.0.X). I am trying to use a Win2000 computer as a router to route data between the visible part of the LAN and the invisible part of the LAN.

Let's say that on the Win2000 router computer, the external NIC card is 125.0.0.1 and the internal NIC card is 10.0.0.1 . How do I set up the static routes so that the private computers can access the visible servers? I also wants the visible servers to access one of the private computers, addressed at 10.0.0.9. is that possible? What should I put in the blanks for the Internal and External NIC when setting up the static routes to accomplish this purpose?

Interface: Internal NIC(10.0.0.1)
Destination: ?
Network Mask: ?
Gateway: ?

Interface: External NIC(125.0.0.1)
Destination: ?
Network Mask: ?
Gateway: ?

Thanks for any helps.

I could be wrong but I don't think you can use a router in this situation because 10.x.x.x is a private ip class. Your best bet would be to use NAT which would translate the 10.x.x.x to 125.0.0.1 without exposing your internal network to the internet. Check out this thread for more info:
