But squid is so nice :-)  All of your ip_masq'd boxes could be pulling
down cached images from your gateway instead of the net.  Much faster
transfer rates, and you save quite a bit of bandwidth.  All of your
machines will still pretend to be on the net, they'll just get common
http traffic much quicker.
