Squid will do just fine. You can achieve what you want to do in two ways: 1) Make the proxy available via a port redirect in the natd software 2) Enable transparent proxying (that way nobody escapes ;) For option 1; there are leads in the natd docs For option 2; You will have to enable transparent caching in squid while compiling and youll have to enable transparent caching in natd as well.
