Just thinking out loud, so no flames please.... 

So the situation is that you have a point of presence on the net that
needs to be concealed but still access the net.  The idea is to route
all the traffic from that point to another point and then to the net in
a manner that would mask the traffic.  

Ok, how about this: firewall the first point so that _no_ traffic can
get out.  Then set up a VPN between the first point and the second with
_all_ traffic routed through the tunnel.  Then route all traffic from
the 1st point out to the net.  Now there will be traceable traffice
between both points, but it will _all_ be encripted and only be
traceable to the second point.

As far as routing is concerned, the IP address of the 1st point (through
the VPN) would be a private address and look like another network at the
2nd point.
