Here you are only allowing packets through your machine coming from the
outside related to a connection. But you do not allow any packets going
out. Why are you not using your $EXT_IF?

Here you allow all packets from the inside using the correct IP address.
I would suggest the following rules instead:
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -s $INT_NET -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
Allow new packets only from the inside. Allow all established and
related in both directions!

correct.

I would suggest here to allow only the packet initiating the connection.
All other packets are caught by the rules above:
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i ppp0 -d $WWW_IP -p tcp --dport 80 -m state \
--state NEW -j ACCEPT
PREROUTING happens before FORWARD, therefore the packet already has the
destination of $WWW_IP.

Again only allow new packets:
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW \
-j ACCEPT

And again the question: what about $EXT_IF and $INT_NET_IF?
