Resources regarding use of RFC 1597 addresses

I've been experimenting with 10/8 addressing on m home LAN connected to
the Internet via a single static IP address. So far I've verified that it
is possible to use such a scenario for a small corporate LAN which mainly
needs basic WWW access and email, but I would like to find out how far I
can go with this.

So, does anyone know of any resources on the net for building firewalls
using RFC1597 addressing?

You might want to poll the crowd over on the Firewalls List
[firewalls@GreatCircle.com].

ftp://ftp.vix.com/pub/vixie/proxynet.psf.gz describes my attempt. the code
that implements this is (a) unencumbered, (b) running in production at one
of my big customers, and (c) not particularly well documented or supported.

serious requests for the source code would be honoured, though.

Does it try to do auto-proxies, or must user behavior be modified as with
the TIS FWTK?

Thanks:)

It's *amazing* what one can accomplish when

Auto proxies are really hard. This is a link library. You need OS source
or you need to edit your shared libraries.
