RE: Internet proxy server

With linux, you can do IP masquerading which is nicer than a proxy. This is 
because you don't have to configure your clients differently to make them 
work!

I don't have time to explain how right now, but there is a HOWTO, and if I 
don't see anyone else chime in later, I try help out.
