What I though I could do is have ISP ethernet to Eth0 on linux box.
Eth1 on linux box to switch and then somehow make the linux box

I need a mix of SNAT and NAT but I am unsure on how to proceed. I have
read a lot of the documentation and HOWTOs and I have not found any
examples of this type of a scenario.
Any Advice?
The ebtables project is exactly for doing some transparent filtering.
Just set up a bridge between your ISP and your network depending
on your Internet connection type.
(ex.: you wouldn't be able to filter PPPoE stream yet.)
For more information :

*note:* bridging filtering is part of the linux 2.6 series
there's a patch for 2.4
Thank you,
