Another question..  I use ipfilter.  One thing that I'm told about
commercial firewalls is that stateful inspection will make sure that it
is indeed HTTP traffic going over port 80 rather than something else
(and similar for other ports/protocols).

Can this behaviour be simulated with ipfilter and ipnat using
transparent proxies?

Thanks,
Jason
