Another solution is to run a Socks5 Server on the FreeBSD box and the
SocksCap32 client on all thw WinX boxes. This way all the clients will appear
to be the Socks5 Server hostname, and assuming you have an A record and PTR
record for that servers hostname/ip address, all the WinX clients will get
properly identified both through forward and reverse lookups.

You can obtain the Socks5 source at  http://www.socks.nec.com/  along with
all documentation necessary to set it up.
