Clark Connect will actually do this transparently also.  That and you
can tie privoxy (to stop ads and pop ups) into it also.  The only
caveat is being that CC *should* sit as it's own box.  I use it to
filter mail (fetchmail, SA) and as imap from home and work.  The nice
thing?  I can ssh into it from work and then to any system in the
house that I need something off of (as long as the laptops are not
hibernated)
