Although I am almost NEVER one to recommend a Microsoft product BUT MS Proxy server is actually a very nice product. You can assign a /29 or /30 (I usually give them a /29 since I assign /29's to home dsl connections and I have the network already subnetted). On the other side of the proxy you can use private IP's and it will do the translation automaticly or you can use IPX/SPX and it will automaticly function as a IPX to IP gateway. I don't think there is a proxy client for Unix (any flavor of unix) but they do have W95/98, W31 and mac.
I have ran into problems when you need to shove more then a few megs of data through it, but most home users don't run into that problem. :-) If you run a unix box you can run natd and firewall for a nice proxy solution.
