hello and thanks for reading this. i am helping a school with a lan connection. the school has some very young children that need to have their internet access limited yet the administration need to be handled differently.
i am a windows guy and i have been using microsoft proxy server. i have been writing and isapi in visual c++ but it is a nightmare to debug. so i am trying apache as a forward proxy server and i am loving it. i know that i can use the noproxy and proxyblock directives. my problem is that i want to set noproxy and proxyblock based on the client who is trying to access the page. for example, in the student lab, these machines, each having a unique ip address, should have all sites block except those on a white list. but for administrators, they need almost unstricted access. maybe blocking a just few sites. i cannot seem to create this functionality using the apache. i have spent a few days thinking about this and i cannot figure it out. thanks, dave
