Reply-to: adrchew@pop.jaring.my Priority: normal X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.42a) Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I need some advice in setting up a proxy server via dial-up access (dynamic IP allocation). From my understanding this is possible via the socks proxy, with the dynamic IP being allocated to the serial port while the ethernet interface is allocated an IP in an unused range (eg. Class C 192.168.0.*). My objective is to get a small network connected to the Net for WWW, FTP and email... Netscape + Eudora clients on '95 and Mac OS. I'm not too sure how to set the client configuration and if there are any limitations to the proxies. If I configure PPP to do dial-in on demand, configure and run socks, configure TCP/IP on the local LAN, is there any requirements? There is some mention of how to resolve DNS and socks requiring DNS, so does BIND need to be setup too, if so, which particular BIND setup (caching-only?). Or specify a nameserver of our ISP? Any further thoughts appreciated. Btw, I'll be using 2.1.0R for now, 2.1.5 should be arriving in a few days. --- Adrian Chew Email->adrchew@pop.jaring.my Alternate Dimensions Figure Skating World "Cutting Edge Web Designs" "Your Online Skating Source" http://turnpike.net/~adweb http://turnpike.net/~adweb/fsw http://pgp.ai.mit.edu/htbin/pks-extract-key.pl?op=get&search=0xD384F34
