Well, I've found it to be not too difficult in the past.  First, compile
the kernel with firewalling, masquerading, and transparent-proxy-type
options in it.  Then put something like the following somewhere on bootup:

/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j MASQ -s 10.0.0.1/24 -d 0/0
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_cuseeme
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_irc
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_quake
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_raudio
/sbin/insmod ip_masq_vdolive

I don't use a module auto-loader, so that's why those are in there.  I've
found in the past that auto-loaders will work with all of those, except
that ftp won't load automagically (depending on which loader you are
using).  That should do a decent job of masquerading all the boxes for 
you...a good start for your question, I believe.
