Looking for some help with a system setup
Its a remote location, with limited resources and the only type of
connection is by satellite respectively.
Here's the specifications:
Two satellites - Two 4 MB / 512. Contention Rates of 10:1
Dual wan router - Draytek
Gateway server - looking to have a reverse proxy, with traffic flow
control software. limited resources so I have to use SquidNT. I do
have software available which I intend to use to make it transparent
to users.
Anything currently being sourced as "SquidNT" is either an extremely
obsolete version or one of the known untrustworthy fakes floating around.
Please ensure you have a current and correct official Squid package for
Windows. These are presently available only from Acme Consulting
(http://squid.acmeconsulting.it/)
As for being "transparent", thats one natural outcome of a properly
operating reverse-proxy. No other special software needed.
What I would like to do is be able to cache multiple websites and
have them accelerated after first time view. Looking for examples on
how to config SquidNT or the appropriate steps in setting up such a
server. If need be, i can run multiple instances of squid to achieve
this, kind of hoping that the conf file can address multiple
websites. If someone has a copy of something similar to this, I would
greatly appreciate it.
Any of the current Squid can handle any number of websites easily.
With the official Squid builds the release notes have some details about
their requirements on Windows and the Wiki documentation is all relevant.

Server Specs: Windows Server 2003 2.8 GHz Processor - Intel Pentium 4
800 FSB 4 GB RAM - DDR 400 1 TB storage - Hotswap and Raid configured
:( hope its very fast hardware RAID and not software.

Two ethernet ports. - 10/100 and 10/100/1000
The Purpose: To provide Internet Access better than what the locals
are providing to approximately 100 Military Members for a reasonable
price.
