Hi all - I've got a small LAN (4 machines) and I tend to install a lot of the same ports on all the machines (usually using portupgrade). What I've been doing up till now is installing on one machine and then ftp'ing the distfiles over to the other machines and installing on them. I know I could build packages and do it that way, but for whatever reason I don't. I started looking into caching proxies that would help automate this process somewhat, but I haven't had much luck. I tried jftpgw (FTP only) but could never get it to work right. Tried Apache's proxy which says it will do both, but it seemed to only cache HTTP and it's not really designed for "long term caching" so to speak. Anyone have any suggestions? Seems like this would be a common thing to reduce bandwidth... Thanks! -philip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
