You can certainly share the WAN connection with the LAN. This is done via IP Masquerading. You can either install the 'ipmasq' package on the "woody" box and that will set up some basic ipchains/iptables rules to perform the masquerading or you can read the IP Masq, ipchains and iptables howtos on Linuxdoc.org and netfilter.samba.org and write your own by hand. Since you were specifically asking about package updates, there are other alternatives with apt, though I am not familiar with them. I think there is 'apt-move' or something like that to help with it. HTH, -D
