What do you mean by "to be seen" in this context? To be seen from
where? Fron within the network, from an external source? Seen on
which layer (e. g., "seen" via TCP/IP, "seen" via ARP)?

Firewalls are often combined with NAT, so connections to the
outside appear "as one" whereas in reality they are translated
to the individual nodes as needed.

Yes. This is a typical firewall configuration: Do not interfere
with the communication within a network, but apply rules for
traffic from the network to the Internet and back.

(Sidenote: Firewalls installed on computers of course can
apply rules to the communication of the nodes to each other
within the network, but it doesn't seem this is the scope
of your question.)

However, again "share resources" is not fully clear. What
resources? Shared how?

Is that a requirement or the current status? Anyway, yes, a
regular firewall can achieve that.

Please express more clearly what you wish to achieve. If
possible, use established technical terminology (especially
for "to be seen"). :-)
