I would like to setup a machine to server as a "snapshot server" just like if you choose FTP or NFS as your install media instead of CDROM. I setup a FreeBSD-current machine here at work, and it works just the way i want, so i want to make more, but i don't want to go across the T1 if i can go across the 100Base-T ethernet. please help me out here. also, i'd like to create a PORTS proxy of sorts. I don't want to download all the ports stuff and shove it on a server, i'd like the server to act as a caching proxy server. if it has the requested file it sends it instead of going to the internet sites, but if it doesn't have it, it get's it from the internet site, passes it along to the client and keeps a copy for itself. is this possible, or should i just cvsup the ports distfiles and get it over with? thanks, -brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
