Hello,
I am thinking about setting up, either a router or a proxy. Here's the
scenario:
There are several computer labs (school network) and all computers are
configured to get the needed information from a dhcp-server. Now, I need to set
up a gateway (with a cable-modem), thru which all machines should go
online.
My first idea was to set up a transperant proxy (using ipfw). That would
make the administration pretty easy for me. The other idea, that came up my
mind, was to create a standard-router (using routed, etc.).
Now, my questions are:
Which of these solutions would you recommend?
Are there any other solutions you would suggest?
Do you know any disadvantages (slowing down performance, etc.), which I
could experience?
Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance and please make sure you send your answer also to me,
since I am not subscribed to this list.
