Lance my dear departed proxy was a machine called Homer. Homer ran Linux and was used as a gateway to the interent sharing the connection with various other bits of Windows hardware as well as running as a file, web and email server. So that basically says that everything you needed to know aboutup there is possible. You would need two network cards in the box but it would very easy to have it work at sharing a net connection.
