One of the little perks of being the company network admin is that you don't have to bother with all that.
I thought of that too, but the holes I'd have to put in my home firewall would totally bork my home network... that and all inbound port 80 traffic on my home network would have to go to the Linux box which makes browsing the web at home kinda impossible on anything but that Linux box.

Plus my work connection would be limited to my home's cable upstream bandwidth.
