You don't _need_ NAT, a proxy based firewall will work without 
re-addressing.  You'll not be able to reach the legitimate owners of the 
netblock you're using, without a NAT system that supports routing based on 
the interface a packet arrived on combined with source and destination 
address, and which bi-directionally NATs the packets in and out from that 
network though.  NAT itself doesn't necessarily provide that solution 
without per-interface and independent source/destination address translation.
