If I catch the point, you want your machine to act as a router
(translating internal addresses from eth1 to internet addresses through
eth0)...

That must be configured in some way (dhcp simply gives addresses and net
parameters to the other machines, but doesn't modify packets for you).

I know this (it's called *masquerade*) can be done with iptables...
though I normally use other tools (like a firewall, I use shorewall).

Hope this helps
