A school I have been doing a bit of work for, now uses a Debian system for
its proxy and smtp mail gateway. 3 nics in it. 1 is for the live addresses
for our internet ip's. Then 2 more nics connected to the 2 internal
networks. 1 for students lan, and the other for the teachers. Both hook
directly to a 100baseT switch.
The machine works unreal, and the school has since decided they will now
implement 2 ISDN channels, as since rolling out mail to all staff, and http
proxy access to all PC's. They will require the better connectivity. Looks
like some more work for me.
I also installed horde/imp, thus giving them webmail interface. And the
school loves it.
The only real IT people at this place, is my mate who does a little
co-ordinating, and me who looks after the implementation of the linux
machine and the services it provides now.
So this is a good story...
