The easiest thing I can think of is ipportfw. Why not just forward

the ips of the users who go through. (cross reference with access
logs and you should have an idea of which clients to have your
support department contact when they aren't too busy).
Puts a little extra load on the linux box, but I am sure it can
handle it.
