You can use forwarding to achieve this affect... if the machines set ur
box to be the gateway.. you can set up ip forwarding/masquerading such a
way that all packets to port 80 on ur machine are sent to proxyserver:8080
or whatever. this solution definitely works.
I'm not sure what would happen if you made this kind of setup... get
traffic meant for port 80 to goto port 8080 on the remote/gateway
machine... and then run a proxy server on your machine.. squid comes with
redhat... and then others will be able to get to ur machine and get out to
the net.
I'm pretty positive that the above solution should work too. but can't
guarantee it as I haven't tried this setup before.. but definitely worth a
try!
