That was going to be my suggestion too.  That or some kind of crazy 
local firewall/NAT redirection are all I can think of, and the local 
proxy thing is probably a lot simpler.

You could go even crazier and put everything in a virtual machine, then 
fiddle with the virtual networking, but that would reduce back to the 
local firewall/NAT redirection, more-or-less.

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
