Stupid question, but if you are going to forward all the ports, why not
just put it on the other side of your linux box?

ISP--------- Linux box
           | -------other box

Is that what you are ruling out when you say the existing nat has to
stay in place? Whats the reasoning behind it? (Just curious)
