Subject: Linux as a router and/or bridge

Linux people,

I'm trying to understand how to set up a Linux system as a router.  For
example, assume I have an interface with IP address 192.168.0.1(eth0)
and another with IP address 192.168.1.1(eth1).  What do I need to do to
allow traffic received on one interface to be automatically forwarded
out of the other interface?  To extend the example, assume eth0 receives
a packet from 192.168.0.25 that is destined for 192.168.2.40.  What is
the minimal set of steps I need to perform in order to get my kernel to
send that packet on its way?

Second question, what exactly is network bridging and how might I use it
instead of setting up a Linux system as a router?

Josh
