Hello!

I'm trying to configure a proxy server for my LAN to access the Internet.
I chose Delegated 4.4.1 package, 'cause it seems to include all useful
protocols in one product, and its generalist/specialist scheme seems
smart.

The configuration:

FreeBSD 3.0-SNAP box with two ethernet interfaces, one for the LAN and one
connected to a router which gives access to the Internet (currently, no
forwarding is taking place between interfaces). I have a registered domain
with plenty of IP addresses (I'm going to be sort of ISP for a few
government institutions in my country). The freebsd box already sees the
whole Internet with no problem.

I have the Delegate 4.4.1 proxy package installed, but I have no idea on
how to configure it.  Interactive configuration works great, but I need to
start it automatically, so I need some light here.

Services I want to make available to the LAN users at this time: HTTP,
SMTP, FTP and SOCKS proxies. Others will be installed when the need
arises.

Suggestions, comments, sample config files, etc. are welcome :)

Also, if you think Delegated 4.4.1 is not a good choice, please give me
some advice about other (free) product. 

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Victor

P.S. How does Apache perform as a proxy server? is it better than squid or
delegated?
