Cesar,
you said you need Apache web server so that your
internal users can browse the web. And your linux
box is running socks proxy... correct , is this
your situation.
If yes, then you do not need a web server for your
clients to browse the web. Each internal host
would use their own browser clients and configure
these clients so that they point to the proxy
server IP address, ie the IP address of the linux
box facing the Internal LAN. ANd remember the port
is 1080 (this is the port for socks prosy)
both the IE and Netscape browsers have very user
friendly setting wherein your clients would be able
to make relevant entries to point to your socks
proxy server. and ofcourse IP_Forwarding is
disabled.
hope this helps
tally

Hi,
I have a LAN connected to Internet through a Linux box. The Linux box
has
ipfwadm tools (kernel 2.0.32), and no forwarding enabled. One interface
in LAN, the other is ppp.
Sockd enables most of services (ftp, telnet, http, etc.)
For performance issues, I want to setup an Apache proxy server that
enables LAN users to navigate in the web.
Here is the question:
If forwarding is disabled, I end up with connections from the
LAN
to the proxy port, but no connection to the outside.
If forwarding is enabled, everything works fine.
What is wrong?
Apache listen to the LAN, but without forwarding, it doesn't make
connections trough the ppp interface.
If this is a silly question, or off-topic, please let me know (better
with
an answer :-)
TIA
