what's wrong with configurating the linux machine as a router, define it
as the default route for all machines on the LAN, and define the network
router as the default router of the linux machine? then, define on the
router that the route to that class-C subnect is the linux machine?
this doesn't look harder to configure then configuring (and maintaining)
the network without the linux box in the middle...
