Thanks.  I took a look at 3proxy, and while I’m guessing I could turn
off the features I don’t want, there would be a _lot_ of them.  It is
capable of proxying a large number of protocols with varying auths
and even has it’s own DNS filtering system.  Much more than I’m
looking for.

So if no-one has any positive information about the state of tcpproxy,
I guess I’m still looking for other options.  Thanks.
