I realise just about everything is possible in the Linux worlds... however my query is...


Is it possible to use a proxy server in combination with the Dashtein CD?

Perhaps, the Dashtein CD is not quite the BEST package to use... I am happy to be guided by you all out there...
I do have a full release of redhat 7.2 and 8.0, so if it is best to build something from scratch... then I could possibly do it that way..

Short answer: yes. But you expected that. The real questions are: How hard is it? What is the best way to do it?

In a way, it depends on what you mean by "in combination with".

It is certainly possible to run a proxy server like Squid or Junkbuster *on* a Dachstein system, though offhand I do not recall if either one exists in prepackaged (.lrp) form. But ... at least in my opinion ... this is not an optimal setup. For best use, proxy servers want a lot of memory and disk space to use to cache results, and Dachstein is designed for use on relatively low-memory systems with limited mass storage.

Perhaps more practical is running a proxy server on a full-strength Linux system that is on the LAN (or a related DMZ) firewalled and routed by a Dachstein. system.
