Setting up Debian to be firewall, proxy and dns server.

Hi

I am very new to Linux. I would like to setup a firewall, proxy and dns server on a machine using Debian.

I started with the dns but am now stuck, partly because I don't understand DNS well either. Here are some facts about my system:

I registered a domain with networksolutions and the nameservers they allocated me are:

NS93.worldnic.com and NS94.worldnic.com

My ISP's addresses has given me a DNS and gateway address, i.e.

212.111.33.10 for their DNS
212.111.33.11 for their gateway

I have 2 NIC's in my machine, and one is connected to a wireless device, the other to my hub.

eth1 = 192.168.20.1 connected to hub
eth0 = 212.111.33.50 connected to wireless
212.111.22.20 is the address for the wireless device

I have no idea how to set this up and also what sequence to use. Should I do dns first, then firewall then proxy?

I started with the dns so would prefer to just carry on with that if possible.

Any help is appreciated.
