Just an addendum to my previous response, which was a much simpler solution
than this, but assumed (!) that the 192.168.1.9 machine was running Linux,
and therefore could have netilter installed on it :)
Sorry for making that assumption - if it's not the case, then a bridging setup
like Cedric has described is probably your best solution.
[ Note to self: I must remember that people use things other than Linux on
their networks :) ]
