Yes, either that or just issue an "ifdown eth0" from CLI or script but you need to do that as root, you shouldn't be able to do that as a user. > Whether in will stop local loop also.

Well, I am not familiar with wwwoffle, but if it is a caching proxy, then issuing a reload command will NOT draw the files from the net but will pull them from the proxy storage. The whole point of having a caching proxy is to speed up browsing time for frequently accessed pages by pulling the files from the cache instead of downloading them from the net. The only time that you download from the net is when the page is not present in the cache. So, dropping the net connection would seem like overkill if you are simply trying to minimize your bandwidth load. Better to use a caching proxy and make the cache really big. I am pretty sure that you could do that with Squid or any other caching proxy server. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
