transprxy has nothing to do with masq'ing. So we'll deal with
them separately.
1 Check that you have squid working(netscape)
2 install tproxy and a kernel that supports the -r option in
ipfwadm (I forget which those are right now)
3 install the rule:
ipfwadm -I -i accept -r $TPROXY_PORT -D 0.0.0.0/0 80
4 config masq'ing as usual:
ipfwadm -F -i m -D 0.0.0.0/0 -W $EXTERNAL_IFACE
NOTE that tproxy and squid are different.
client -> gateway -> REDIR -> tproxy -> squid -> www_server
