thats a great idea.  essentially you are building a wireless router.  not
sure on the dhcpd end, but i can help on the routing.

with a setup like this:

host A
	wlan0 208.178.221.55
	wlan1 10.1.1.1

host B
	wlan0 10.1.1.2

you already have a default route from host A  to the internet

route add default gateway 10.1.1.1

sets the default route to the internet from host B

host A must also, in this configuration, have ip forwarding set:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

and have ipmasq going:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE

you will need to have all of the relavent netfilter/iptables modules
compiled along with your kernel for this to be functional.

if you truly seek unique addressing for all hosts you are routing to, you
can get practically infinite ipv6 space by following these instructions
regarding host A:

http://changelog.complete.org/node/view/61

or using a tunnel broker such as freenet6.net.

bridge is a bit of a misnomer.

my oh my, it seems that you should become good friends with the ip
command to do it that way...

or move to ipv6;)
and smoke a bud for me.
