NAT with multiple addresses.

I am trying to install a firewall in an extremely weird network connection to the Internet, and I was wondering if there was someone willing to help me out. Proxy Server ------------ Router --- Internet Workstations | As it seems, some time ago, people just came and plugged the router to the hubs in order to avoid performing configuration tasks in a Linux box. All the workstations and the proxy server (which is serving only as an HTTP proxy server) are coming out on public addresses. I am planning to things this way: Workstations---- Proxy Server --- Router which semms a sound way to do it, as the router belongs to a third party and I don't have access to it. The problem is we're talking about a Cyberbar, and as we all know, usual activity on cyberbars are IRC chatting, web surfing and FTP downloading (I say downloading because people browsing an FTP is not something you see a lot of here, and when they download they just follow a hyperlink on a webpage, which you can do in active mode even blocking syns at the gateway). For all I know, changing all public addresses to private is a good thing, but having twenty five connections from the same IP is something an IRC server administrator will not want. Coming down to the real question... Is there a way to do NAT or Masquerading at the Linux box that will let me use all the public IP addresses I have available. Thanks a lot for your help, Marcelo. __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?
