Subject: using socks to hide internal IP addresses

Would it be possible to set up a firewall using socks, whereby you could 
use any internal IP address you felt like, and be able to access services 
outside?

In particular, if you have a class C address from your internet provider, for
example, would it be possible to set up additonal IP address beyond the 254
behind your socks firewall?

If I'm not mistaken, this is possible, and it is a way not only to enhance 
security but also to attach more workstations than you actually have registered
IP addresses.  Is this legal?
