Hello!

My question is:

 - Is it possible to use monowall as a .... transparent .... proxy server, that does nothing more than route the
   packets back and forth between 3 network adapters?
 - It would have to have 2 network adapters to the internet(inet1, inet2) and one that plugs into my server
   (enet1).
 - Normally, packets would travel between inet1 and enet1.
 - The only extra i would need is the following: if I try to connect to a specific IP, it would have to route the
   packets from enet1 to inet2.

Is it possible with m0n0wall?

Thx for any advice, and sorry if i missed a topic that already solved this problem...

What you're describing isn't a proxy server, it's a router. It would require policy routing to do what you describe, which isn't possible in m0n0wall. pfsense (http://pfsense.org), an offshoot of m0n0wall, does have policy routing so you might want to check it out.
