Doesn't that require that the router handling all the traffic be a NAT
machine? At our place we currently have a CheckPoint FW-1 firewall, and I am
not sure that it supports transperant proxying (though it is quite possible
that it does, Linux isn't the only solution, you know). I don't think adding
another machine will be a good idea.
