U are funny (sorry). Use Freebsd for firewall and microsoft for proxy? If u want an easy solution with microsoft try Windows2003 server (that have route and NAT options) and Sygate at firewall. Or any version of Windows with winroute for nat/proxy. I recommend u oldies versions like 4.x for winroute. (this work with little network, not production situations)
My advice is to install squid on freebsd machine. Is easy, is included in ports and can find tons of documentation. U dont need two computers for that (gateway+proxy). If i dont understand corect, please explain more clear what u want to do! (including an scheme if u can). is not very clear what is your gateway and where is your proxy. With ipfw, not need to take off the computer from network. Make an simple script and flush rules when u dont want ipfw. For example script example /etc/ipfw.sh: #!/bin/sh cmd="ipfw -q" pif=rl0 #public interface lif=fxp0 #private interface $cmd flush $cmd add 100 allow ip from any to any in via $pif ............................. u can run script with: #sh ipfw.sh and if want to flush rules #ipfw flush _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
