Do you have more than four computers internally? If not, just NAT them.
As a reminder, NAT is many-to-many; masquerading (a Linux-specific term,
or if it's not now, Linux was the first to use it) is just a special
case.

You can still easily filter the inbound just the same as you would for
any masqueraded connection.
