If you are going to do a firewall-style setup under BSD, then you might also wish to consider a combination of the TIS firewall tookit and the harvest cache server. Harvest is much faster than socks, and you can use Netscape with it as well. You might also wish to consider using a small (386) Linux box until the BSD support for masquerade is up to speed. If you want to use BSD, though, the first solution should be a pretty good ont. Hope this helps. _____________________________________________________________________ Todd Graham Lewis Linux!
