Multiple Proxy Setup?

Question

Multiple Proxy Setup?

Hi!
I have set up one compulsory proxy server on my iPod, and I can connect to the internet. However, this proxy's purpose is to implement content filtering, much of which is excessive and annoying.
Therefore, I would like to set up another proxy server, that is connected to after my iPod runs through the compulsory proxy. However, there appears only to be room for one proxy setup in the iPod settings, and I was hoping people could help me configure the following setup:

iPod --- Compulsory Proxy Server --- Optional Proxy (to bypass filtering) --- Content I wish to access.

Has anyone done this before or got any ideas?
Thanks,
Jimmy

iMac (intel), Mac OS X (10.5.2)

I think you may have this slightly reversed.

The net ---> proxy server/site filter + your internal network---> your ipod and your other devices

Your proxy server would hide you from the web and you can block websites at that point as well.

If you are trying to keep your kids off the net with the touch, you can limit access far easier by going to Settings and putting restrictions on the various apps. No proxy needed.
