Hi Aaron,
following the thread initiated by David, I am facing a
quite similar problem.
Here's the story : the internal network (w32) i'm in
charge of needs to host remote workstations for
temporary sessions and provide them with full internet
access through the existing Frame Relay connexion. As
I have been (very) recently appointed, i thought of a
linux box to share the internet connexion between the
internal network stations and another one to connect
remote wkstations.
My concerns are both security and sharing. I use a
RH6.0 and the proxy I thought of installing does not
seem to run properly. Should i go for IP masquerading
on both linux boxes, is the 2nd one superfluous?
Thanks in advance
ilan
