It also assumes you WANT squid.  You don't need squid, or any other kind
of proxy, when using ipmasqadm or the iptables command that David just
posted.

Yes, there are advantages of using squid (caching), but it is a complex
beast.  I personally subscribe to the KISS principle :-)

Of course, there are about a million (ok, about 5 that I can think of
right now) different ways the same thing could be done, some more
complex than others.
