tlug: Linux as Proxy Server

[LNJPTYO1.MDARCY01@example.com]

Was hoping if someone had any experience or could possibly point me in the
right direction on how to
go about setting up a LINUX box as a proxy server or gateway to the Internet
via a dial-up PPP connection.

The LAN would be using TCP/IP with a bogus IP network address. When one of the
clients trys to connect to a
valid internet address (i.e. www.sun.com) the LINUX server dials-out and acts
like a proxy. When there is no activity for a specified
time it drops the connection.

Any suggestions or hints would be appreciated.
