If you don't have any experience with ipfwadm you'll have a fair bit of reading up and experimenting to do. If your not confident with the idea of managing your routing and access using a linux based product your other option would be to use ISA server on the wintel side of the fence.

In very simple terms you will be bridging your networks with a PC or server containing at least 2 network interfaces: one each for the left and right hand side of the network as you envisage it with switches and/or hubs hanging off each interface as appropriate. Bear in mind that your design choices will have a direct impact on your DHCP/DNS strategy if implemented.
