When you refer to being billed for bandwidth consumption to "them" it's not 100% clear if you're referring to customers or provider. I'm assuming you mean provider. On one of my last jobs we beta-tested quite a few of these boxes, and I think they settled on Novell kit. I would reccomend staying away from NetApp due to costs, but Squid might be able to do what you need. -- Paul Robinson ,--------------------------------------- Technical Director @ Akita | A computer lets you make more mistakes PO Box 604, Manchester, M60 3PR | than any other invention with the T: +44 (0) 161 228 6388 (F:6389)| possible exceptions of handguns and | Tequila - Mitch Ratcliffe `----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
