If you want to bounce packets around, it would seem far simpler to
turn on a UDP echo service - it doesn't have to have an 80 bounce
limit. Or, if it is firewall evasion you're after, configure a
tunnel and turn on forwarding - it could even hide your real source
address.
If you've access to someone's machine and can twiddle parameters
of their IP stack, then RH0 isn't a big deal.
