More like ppp0 and eth0 I guess.
You should think about using cron-apt to download debian updates
during the night when you sleep (download, not install). That way the
apt-proxy will always have all your packages ready when you decide to
actualy install.
You might also switch to squid and setup your friends squid as peer so
they share the downloads they have.
