sounds like a job for bridging.  how's about:

router	= .17

br0	= .18

where br0 is a bridge device containing member ports eth0 and eth1.

rest of the home net can use .19 - .30 and use .17 as their default
gateway.  the only reason the bridging linux firewall needs an IP at all
would be for SSH mgmt.
