maybe you should start thinking then ;) . if a "regular router" = cisco -
then, yes, it can do that, and much more (depending on the version of its
IOS).
this will done done with no address translation on the router - it just is
told that the 'next hop' towards the target address, is the proxy machine.
that proxy machine then needs to understand (via normal routing rules)
that any packet it received, targeted for port 80 and an IP that does not
belogn to the local machine, should be injected into the proxy server's
module. that doesn't _have_ to be implemented using NAT (althoguht it
_might_ be done this way if it simplifies stuff).
