NAT/Proxy combinations

2005-08-27 23:53:58
Generally, people use NAT or Proxy as firewalls.  Would it be more secure to
use a NAT Proxy combination ?
Say, a NAT connected to Proxy connected to NAT.  Would this prevent external
as well as internal attacks.
Also, use static routes between the NAT/proxy/NAT to prevent internal route
spoofing.
 
Most proxies I have known are software based and NAT's are firmware based.
Assumption being all required 
application level gateways are available for NAT.
 
e.g. Use hardware NAT's are from two different vendors (with different
packet processing algorithm), and proxy is squid.
