It wouldn't be _completely_ transparent though - in particular logging
would be messed up because the client IP will always be 127.0.0.1, right?
(or, the IP of the stunnel machine if it's a gateway into your network).
But I guess for some applications that's no big deal, in which case the
stunnel approach would work great.
