Seeking Linux Proxy Server Suggestions

[DeepSparklePupa]

Hi all!!

I've got a Linux box (2.2.20 kernel) dedicated to firewalling for my little home network.

I'd like to host an RtCW server on an internal box running Win2K Server.

Although I have opened ports recommended by the RtCW community, I have yet to get RtCW to successfully register itself with the Wolfenstein master servers, and so nobody is joining. Frustratingly, I am not getting any denied or rejected packets on my firewall's logs that would help me to diagnose the failure. I believe my salvation may rest in installing a proxy server on the firewall box.

Could someone recommend a proxy server?

Why not run the Linux RTCW server on the firewall?

The firewall is running on an Athlon 700 w/256 mb RAM.

The Win2K Server is running on a dual Pentium III 500 ex-server w/ 512mb RAM. I'd prefer to run RtCW on *it*, even though I'm well aware I can run it on a Linux platform.

I use a P3 1Ghz with 512M running Q3 that can handle 25 people easily, and I don't think the q3 dedicated server is SMP capable so the dual won't get you anything.

Ok Ok Ok. I acknowledge that I could run the RtCW server on the firewall box.

Does anyone have a favorite proxy server software that they've had success using with a Linux/Win2K network?

The reason I pushed the issue is because quake uses udp for it's communication, it's very hard to run it through a proxy without using a proxy that understand the quake protocols and I don't know any of hand that do for sure.
