If you're allowing all workstations to connect directly to the Internet (via NAT) - definitely you'd have to contend with high bandwidth consumption. You can try controlling traffic via a bandwidth-shaping device or better yet get a caching proxy setup (serves as cheap bandwidth control too) for your internal network. -- -->paolo Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _____________________________ Philippine Free Network Group free.net.ph -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
