If Squid, the proxy server, is the only gateway then where does NAT fit in? I have not done anything like this so don't know if it is workable or not.

It would be better if such policies come from the top such as CEO/CTO. -- Arun Khan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
