[plug] LAN Gateway + mail Server

[I am the LinuxAlien]

Doing some research on the net lead me to a similar request with out a 
solution that I could find. It describes pretty much what I need as well.
Thanks
Tim
p.s. I'm not sure about the mail server though. It will be multiple email 
accounts.
It must be able to provide:
    * Mail (IMAP server, and either fetchmail or SMTP client)
    * IP Masq
    * DNS caching and server
    * DHCP server
    * Dialup to Optusnet
    * HTTP server to local network to allow users to raise/lower the 
connection > and shut the machine down via the web, with password protection.
