To use as gateway on a server i understand to use a router and make a gateway by rip or any routing protocol by just specifiying the nework or by (ip route).
but how do i set it up with a dual homed server

Depends on the OS, but it's relatively simple. For Windows Server 2003, you just need two network cards in the server. Connect one card to the cable/dsl/fios connection and set the ip address, gateway, netmask and DNS servers to automatic unless you received a static ip address. Then connect the other card to the internal network and set a private ip address and netmask. The internal network clients just point to the server internal ip as their gateway.

DNS is a different issue. You can either install DNS on the multi home server or point the server and clients to your isp DNS servers.
