You seem to be eluding that MS Proxy service wiill act as a TCP/IP gateway... as in NATD. It doesn't last I checked, MS Proxy would be more comperable to SQUID no? In which case the setup would be browser side. You could however setup a local firewall on the FreeBSD box to hijack all it's outgoing http/ftp ports and send their request to the proxy. I still tend to agree with those of you who said to use the FreeBSD box as a gateway. Point being, there is a BIG difference between a gateway and a proxy service. Gateway is tcp/ip, and is not neccessarily cached whereas most proxy services also run some sort of cache. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
