The thing is that when you are using IP-Spoofing you also need to redirect
return traffic to the proxy server. It is not by far as simple as
redirection of client requests to the proxy.

Well.. if you limit yourself to port 80, and force clients to NOT
configure their browsers to use the proxy then it may be possible, but
still not simple.
