That would allow him to forward *all* packets through the Linux machine to 
the Windows machine, but he wants to keep TCP port 22, 25 and 80 on the Linux 
machine....

How would he keep those protocols on the Linux box and send everything else 
through to the Windows box ?

How would the Linux box be able to reply to the external clients ?   What 
'real' IP address would he use on eth0, alongside the proxy arp for the 
public IP we're talking about ?
