You say no FWTK, I am assuming that in light of your comment that 
commerically supported products are required, Have you considered TIS 
Gauntlet, a commercially supported derrivative of their FWTK !  It is 
both reliable (in my experience ;-) ) and relatively easy to support 
and manage.  The only potential problem is the performance issues at 
high line speeds.  But if that is the indication, you are more than 
likely to encounter those problems with most '2-way' proxy based 
products.  If you don't want to licence Gauntlet from TIS, then they 
do have a number of representatives in europe (e.g. UUNET PIPEX - 
Cambridge UK for one).

Just 'cause a piece of technology is 'PD' or 'Shareware' or the like 
is not neccesarilly an indication of low quality.

Hope that helps to re-open the door.
