[ale] Proxy server / blocking router?

[Mike Murphy]

[haven't messed with squid for a while]:

how does that work if your router is doing your PPPoE for you now? Do 
you just set up the linux box as your PPPoE client then? If so, how 
would you get good dns server information to the clients on your home 
network (assuming you aren't running your own dns server somewhere, 
which I suppose you could)?

And something that can be done transparently, so I wouldn't need to modify the PCs to provide blocking. I'd like to yank out my Linksys, and put in something that does DHCP, routing, firewall and transparent proxy server work.
