ICMP redirect problem

In our network, all packets are routed past a Linux box (kernel 2.0.35)
so we can do ip accounting and redirection to a transparent proxy.
The linux box then forwards the packets to the real internet gateway.

The problem is that every packet forwarded generates an ICMP redirect
back to the originating host since the Linux box realises that its just
forwarding the packets. The ICMP redirects are just ignored of course.
How do I turn off this feature?
