[olug] DNS & NAT examples needed

[Sam Tetherow]

I have never configured squid or pound, but mod_proxy/mod_rewrite is 
pretty straight forward for what he is looking for here. A single line 
per domain. As far as resource intensive I'm sure it would not have 
problems keeping up with whatever his is going to be pushing out over 
his home cable connection. But to each their own.
