I'm trying to force a host to go through a proxy without it wanting to.

I'm one of the 3 or 4 people who bought a Google Nexus One on day 0. It's a 
reasonably delightful gadget, with one monster flaw: it isn't possible to set a 
web proxy (without significant warranty voiding). I'm doing my own DHCP and DNS 
in house, so it's going through a PIX and stuff to get to the 'Net.

Do any of you know of a way to force traffic for port 80 to go to squid on my 
LAN server (192.168.3.3)? Like routing / ACL rules in the PIX?

I know how to route or NAT an IP address, but not a port number. I don't expect 
it to go through a proxy except when it's on wifi, running with info my DHCP 
server gives it.

I've thought about having DHCP tell the N1 to use the server for a gateway (and 
do some fiddling with iptables there) instead of the PIX; and trying to get 
squid to listen on port 80. Seems like a bit of a kludge...

Google and O'Reilly haven't come up with anything useful so far.

TIA.
