either use a purpose built proxy firewall like ipcop or smoothwall, or use absolutely any standard fully featured distro at all.

Smoothwall is the easy way. Just install on a dedicated PC (doesn't have to be that big) and set up with the web interface. Has transparent proxy included as well as firewall and IDS...
