Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are a bit better for this than Windows Server 2003.

The built in service that you are looking for is called "Routing and Remote Access". This will allow you to route traffic from one NIC to another, effectively turning the server into a gateway.

To filter website content you must use the Routing and Remote Access Packet Filtering feature. Do not attempt to use TCP/IP filtering, this will only work for inbound connections and may prevent you from accessing the server if you are not careful!

Firewall is self explanatory. The firewall that ships with Windows Server works great.

Thank you very much!! :) it will be of great help. i too wanted to use win2008/R2 but the machine is bit old and the h/w will not be compatible with it, so i have to stick with 2003server or linuxOS..
