I use the Squid HTTP proxy for this. GPL. I have it setup to talk to our Active Directory server to do user authentication. It supports the same NTLM that MSIE uses, so user authentication happens automagically. (We want certain users blocked, etc.) Alternatively, if you just want monitoring, you can use a firewall rule to make Squid a transparent interception proxy. Users won't even know it's there. Depending on your usage patterns, a proxy can also result in some bandwidth savings. http://www.squid-cache.org/ -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
