Thank you,  Squid and Freshmeat sound like interesting enough names to
investigate !  I will check them out to see if I can find a simple\cheap
proxy solution.  Thanks

Red Hat 6.0 includes Squid, a pretty impressive proxy server with good cache
support. It can be set up for fairly basic use without much effort. more
info at http://www.squid-cache.org or you can go someplace like
http://www.freshmeat.net and look at a half dozen alternatives, some
significantly simpler.

Hi, I am interested in setting up a proxy server for our office network.
Because of the low cost of Linux, I was interested in using it as a proxy
server.  Could anyone provide me with concerns and obstacles to look our
for in this project?  Is Linux a good solution for a proxy server?

Does anyone know of a URL or step-by-step guide to setting up Red-Hat or
some other distribution of Linux as a proxy server?  Thank you very much !
