Except for the fact that a passport 8000 is a routing-switch.
I guess the question is if the router can forward requests
_to_ the proxy, and I think the answer is no.
Unless you have bought the (expensive) Alteon add-on board, this
is a layer 2/3 switch, that can do simple udp-forwarding, but not more.

This AFAIK - but I have been wrong before :-)
