Thanks for your answer. Since I'm migrating everything I can from MS to Linux, 
the SOCKS5 solution is more attractive to me. An ISA client for Linux would 
solve my immediate problem, but I would be just delaying a definitive 
solution.
So, if I have a SOCKS5 server, are there SOCKS5 clients for Linux that would 
work in a completely transparent way, like the ISA Firewall Client for 
Windows?

Thank you very much,
