Jump to PostWhat operating system are you running? This would not be too big a problem for Linux. Not sure about Windows, though Windows Server editions should be able to do this - effectively turning your system into a gateway/proxy server.

There is no requirement to have more than one card for a proxy server. The same card can be used for traffic to come into and out of the proxy server. Obviously, a GB Ethernet card could handle much more traffic than a 10/100 card.
