It would really help to know where you think the problem is. It would also help to know: 1) what proxy server 2) what sort of proxying it's doing 3) what basic steps have you taken to tune it yourself. Maybe try softupdates? If it's a proxy/cache that might help signifigantly. -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
