I just installed Redhat 8.0 on computer with two nics. One is conected to a dsl modem/router, the other is connected to the rest of my lan. I need to set up a proxy on this computer for the rest of the computers on the network to have the option to use this connection. I have two other internet gateway on the lan side. One of them is where all the pop3 and smtp traffic has to go through. We are also trying to make the proxy an internal Company webserver(not accessable from the net).

What would be a good proxy setup???

I am have problems telling the internet traffic to go through the dsl connection and not one of the other gateway, The dsl is rated at 6mb, so that is the fastest.

This would be the first linux server that I have setup, so any help would much appreciated.

Thanks

i am not sure that i understood ur question correctly ...so u hv a dsl connection and also some other internet gateway. All the HTTP (web) access u want to go thru this proxy but rest like POP3 and SMTP thru the other gateway. am i right....

for proxy u can use squid ...check up squid web site. secondly u can also configure transparent proxy on the gateway machines to redirect all the http access to this proxy server or else u can manuly configure the proxy settings in the browser to point to this server.

HTH,
