Hi, Well my office mail server must be sick! Reason: Just finished client server setup. Their mail server is set to server and gateway and has email retrival set to public. People can access mail fine from within the office - going through a seperate router box. I can't do this at my office! Anyway I can SSH tunnel to the mail server to use web admin. Now - how can I use the proxy services (Squid) on this mail box? As we currently can't connect to it as we are not considered "local". It would be ideal to use this machine as a cache as it has more HD space than the internal e-smith box. My only other solution is to put our RH router box on the 'local' side of the mail server and then have the internal machines reading off the RH router box as normal (I like to have my internal routers running NO services). Only hassle with that solution is VPN access to the internal e-smith machine becomes a problem as you have to forward ports through 2 machines. Forward VPN from mail (which has a VPN server!) to the RH router and then from their to the internal PDC e-smith box. I really like this perimiter netork security model - but I do not want to loose cache or VPN or have to use complex port forwardings through many machines. How can I achieve all my aims? - Without getting another machine to use as the cache inside the office? - That is my last option. A custom squid template? Where is the squid template - all the files I looked at were empty or said not to edit them - I scoured the templates directories! Many thanx, Cheers, Richard.
