Yes, this is fairly easy. Routing is already built-in (although RH might not
turn it
on by default), you just need to setup IP addresses, routes and perhaps a
firewall or
NAT with iptables.
Squid is a common proxy server to use, and Bind is a popular DNS server.

I''m not sure the easiest way to do this.
You need a kernel that supports the right qdiscs and QoS functionality.
Does anyone know if this is standard with Red Hat 9.0 ?
and then you also need the user-space applications - I would assume there is an
RPM
for these, or some other binary to download.

There is a lot of information about this - most linux computers are used in
similar ways.
just use google.
